Life's too short ... to live as if life's too short.
Yeah, it's generally a good thing to realize our time here is finite, and could end at any moment ... and thus to live life to the fullest, and drop all the stuff that doesn't bring ourselves and others pleasure and goodness.
But it's also something of a mistake to fixate too much on life being too short, even as inspiration for all of the above.
Life's not too short. Life is fine, life is good (especially mine, which is just as it should be).
Perhaps a fruit fly's life's too short, or your darling doggie's. But our time on earth is - barring tragedy - good and long ... long enough to accomplish everything we might want, and be everyone we might want to be.
Celebrate life. Live it, baby. But not because it's going to end. Just because it IS.
