Chapter 141: Time Is Finite, and I Treat It as Infinite
from The Last Thoughts of a Busy Mind · host Ali Khamseh
Time is a limited resource. It is so limited and has such abundant a use that it will be used up even if one actively does not do anything with it. Because of that, it is the source of many quotes and many more anxieties by people who know of its finiteness. Yet, one sometimes deludes oneself into treating this valuable and hard to manage resource as if it is a mine in a RTS video game: easily refilled, even if you need to cheat to refill it.
