Let's say you go on vacation to some famous place like Paris. You get to stay for seven days, a week. You will most likely never be back to Paris in your lifetime so what do you want to do? Likely you want to see all the sights, like the Eiffel Tower, and experience all the things you can there before the week is up, right? So why don't we do that with Earth?
The way I see it, we're all on vacation. An extremely extended vacation, but still a vacation. Yet, rarely anyone takes advantage of it. How many of us actually go and "see the sights"? How many of us travel around and experience all there is to experience? Not very many. We all seem to follow this routine. Go to high school, go to college, get a job, get married, have kids, blah, blah blah. But what's the point? We're all doing what we're supposed to do, but does it really make us happy? Or is it someone else's vision of what makes them happy and we're all just trying to live up to that expectation?
What if your vacation ended tomorrow? What if you ceased to exist after tonight? Would you be satisfied with what you've been doing, what you've done? Would you be OK with the fact that you've never seen the Seven Wonders? (Or eight or whatever that is) Or would you regret the fact that you were someplace great and never saw the sights?
