@bratansov Continued: “But we have difficulty remembering that we are alive in the present moment, the only moment there is for us to be alive.” Thich Nhat Hanh from “Peace is every step”
@bratansov Complement with: “We are very good at preparing to live, but not very good at living. We know how to sacrifice ten years for a diploma, and we are willing to work very hard to get a job, a car, a house, and so on.”
@bratansov I particularly like the description. To me, what makes it good is, firstly, the theme, and secondly, the images it evokes in your head as you read it. But I agree with you that Delano's has stronger writing: the choice of words, the alliterations.
