My OCD begs that you get rid of the dot representing the day before you were born, thus fixing that final line with one lonely dot on it.

The dots are spread out according to your window size, for my default view there is no line with a lonely dot on it.

>14th March 2018 "Read 'Yes Man' by Danny Boyle. Changes everything." Hmm, Danny Wallace[0] perhaps? [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yes_Man_(book)

It is a fantastic book. Different to the film adaption, but every bit as good. Danny Wallace is my God.

Reminds me of this quote from Steve Jobs' famous commencement speech: Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.

There's a lot to lose, in fact. Anyone who has lived in deep poverty and watched as loved ones became homeless or suffer from painful/serious health conditions because treatment is too expensive knows how much there is to lose.

Having seen both sides of this first hand, I certainly agree that the world can put a lot of pressure on you to behave or not behave in certain ways. You may need to take a job that you don’t like instead of starting a business.

But if you want to get unstuck and break free from that rut, it’s important to take risks. Hard work and determination only gets you so far, you also need imagination and willingness to step outside of your comfort zone.

Just as there are different descriptions of reality depending on the scale under discussion - quantum vs cosmological and everything in between - there are different scales to describe experience and, in particular, suffering. I think this is what Jobs was getting at, albeit it perhaps a bit too obliquely.
