One Man's Perception

Here is a passage from a book that I am reading that I thought I would share with you.

"Life pounds you, knocks the pride and piss out of youth. Live long enough and you begin to see the big picture, see yourself as God must see you, as a flawed mortal speck of protoplasm whose fate is of little concern to anyone but you . You work, eat, sleep, defecate, reproduce and die, precisely like all the others, not different really, and the planet turns and the star burns on, both quite indifferent to your fate."
