Each second, each minute, each day, we become atrophied, slowly decaying, withering away like a slowly wilting flower. When we are born, we are aesthetic. We marvel at the beauty of the vast amount of time we have to live. However, we cannot be certain of what our future holds, and we most definitely do not own all of the time in the world.

"But I don't want to go among mad people," said Alice.
"Oh, you can't help that," said the cat. "We're all mad here."
