This post is aesthetically graceful (I will say that). Very sublime. Completely useless, though far more personal because of it. Do not think my previous sentence is a criticism, 21st-century individual, but a glowing remark.

Nevertheless, I do question some one of the propositions made in the construction of this piece, however. Why does it follow that life is worth living from the fact that time is worth having? Do you perhaps mean that simple survival should be an end in and of itself? Is that not a tragic end to the human comedy?

If you seek to imply that life is worth living, as in experiencing, because it can be spent well, you create a non-sequitur. Time is valuable and time can be spent well. What determines how time is spent well? If you want to suggest that living, as in living life is the ultimate ideal founded on the axiom of chrono-waste I would advise you to find a logical framework that can provide an ironclad explanation as to what defines life's value.

P.S. You did not consider the fact that time could have negative value and could therefore be a liability, creating a negative argument.

P.P.S The more holes I make, the less happy I am with my initial praise. Keep doing what you do, and perhaps, one day it will be perfected.

P.P.P.S I have subscribed because this format interests me.

(From an artist to another) Au revoir!

Excellent - thanks.

My two cents is that it is question-begging. Consider that those who reject the conclusion should reject P2 (time can be wasted).
