Caring

I could die tomorrow. And if I don’t, I’m definitely going to die at some point.

Sometimes, I struggle to care enough about things. Other times, I care too much. I’m not sure which is worse.

Something that helps calibrate my caring is to think about death. I could die tomorrow. And if I don’t, I’m definitely going to die at some point.

Sounds gimmicky, but it’s a powerful duality: On the one hand, nothing really matters. On the other, I’m running out of time. I could die tomorrow. And if I don’t, I’m definitely going to die at some point.
