There’s something sweet about that :) But a few centuries later, you sure you’ll still enjoy it?

Myself, I’m prone to getting frustrated that I can’t learn faster, but we just have to make peace with that. Being in ignorance and pain can sometimes be what makes life so poignant. Who knows, there will never be enough years that we can be satisfied with.

I better take off my musing hat now..
