9/12

What if we measured our lives in a series of gradually shrinking percentages instead of linearly from point A —> B? Maybe we should start viewing our existence as in a permanent state of 100%. Maybe we should view our lives as helium in a balloon, always expanding to fill the space we are allowed, and as time plods onward the balloon just starts to shrink, as old balloons are wont to do. Is it sadder to think of time slowly pressing in from all sides or to imagine our lives as an abacus with the beads slowly tic tic ticking from one side to another?

Does it matter? In one we degrade, in the other time shrinks. So it goes either way.
