A Slice of Life

It seems to me that these days, everyone is in such a rush to get where they're going, they don't take the time to stop and think about why they're headed there in the first place, or what they'll do when they do ultimately arrive. In the world of today, "slow and steady wins the race" has been replaced with "the early bird catches the worm" and "the end justifies the means". But when it's all said and done, where do you truly see yourself? which is better-to achieve all your personal goals, but be alone and miserable? or to live life completely for others, self-abnegating or living out someone else's life vicariously? Well, both suck. Point being, what is your destination? What are you doing with your life? Benjamin Franklin once said, "Certainty? In this world, nothing is certain but death and taxes." Since this isn't a treatise on the inner workings of the W-2 and the I-90, it can be naturally assumed that death is the topic at hand. Where is your final destination? And what are you doing in preparation for that fateful day?
