Sober Thoughts

Anyone with only a week to live will not find it in his interest to believe that all this is just a matter of chance. Now, if we were not bound by our passions, a week and a hundred years would come to the same thing.

-Blaise Pascal

What more can be added to this?

We live how we live because we expect to live forever. But the fact of the matter is we will all die. We must not allow our passions to cloud us from this truth. Rather we live rationally with our mortality always in mind.
