    I love this idea of time being our most precious commodity because, in truth, it is. Life is a gift that we often squander in vain pursuits. We let others rob us of our time, this most valuable possession of ours. We forget that we are mortal and have only one chance to live well. This is a big reason why I love philosophy, because it can teach us how to use our time wisely and enjoy every moment. The preoccupied man is not living, but merely existing. Enlightening video!

    Time...to study philosophy. May my reason become more fitted to the best it can be, and may I spend my most valuable resource on the most valuable task.

    Typing as someone with a fondness of existentialism, is it not up to me/us to choose what constitutes a meaningful and valuable _occupation_ of time in this respect and what doesn't? Nonetheless, this aside, an impactful essay in other ways. Thank you for the analysis.

      When you read the Existentialists, you see that they typically think most people make bad uses of their time and life, and that we also make that choice within a lot of general constraints,
