Life Really IS Short, But What Does That Mean in Practical Terms?

From Steve Colbert: Rolls-Royce set an all-time sales record in 2021. The company’s CEO said, “Quite a lot of people witnessed people in their community dying from Covid, that makes them think life can be short, and you’d better live now.” It’s all summed up in their slogan (seen at left).

So true.  There are people who want to communicate to the world, “I’m rich and I have exactly zero compassion for those around me.”

I keep saying that soon, it won’t be cool to live so as to hog resources that could be used to alleviate suffering in others.  So far I’ve been completely incorrect.
