Imagine every morning a bank will deposit 86400 Dollars into an account for you to do with as you please. You may spend the entire amount that day but you cannot rollover what remains. What you do not spend is lost. But every morning when you wake-up you will find another 86400 Dollars in your account. Be aware that the bank may cancel the arrangement at any time. The bank can say the game is over without forewarning.
What would you do?
This game is real, every person has such a magic bank, it is called time. Every morning we are gifted 86400 seconds of life. What we have not used-up at the end of the day will be lost. But every morning the account is filled again.
So then, what do you do with your daily 86400 seconds?

Levy is one of my favorite authors too.
And when is there time to remember, to sift, to weigh, to estimate, to total?
NOW.
Lovely post.
