Why would anyone plant an apple tree if the world ends tomorrow?
“Gasp! My heart!”
No one knows when or how we will die
“Just one more month and I would’ve hit a billion…”
If we must die, so be it
Worrying and fearing won’t help us escape it
Everything is meaningless anyway
This world will come to an end someday too
If the tree I planted lives a thousand years, what meaning would that have?
“Once I hit a billion, I’m quitting this job!”
That’s why we shouldn’t sacrifice the present too much for the result
“It was tough, but fun and fulfilling.”
We have to do what feels most meaningful now
And be happy right now
