The value of time is unrealized until you realize that you've lost too much of it.
What useless objects I spent so much of my time thinking about, the phantoms of history, both history to come & history adumbrated in our texts & pages. Power is squandered by seeking to influence the powerful, who are alien to my heart & to the things that I've loved. The one insight buried in the banality of George Lucas' 'Revenge of the Sith' is the transformation of Anakin from the idealist who so painfully wants to protect what he loves that he regards all who love him as a threat & becomes a destroyer.
It's to be hoped one wakes up before losing three limbs & most of one's skin.
