Joyas Voladoras

This essay, despite how well written it is, always makes me feel horrible.  It brings back the thought that we all die some day, and makes me feel very pessimistic. I guess my favorite line would be " Every creature on earth has approximately two billion heartbeats to spend in a lifetime. You can spend them slowly, like a tortoise, and live to be two hundred years old, or you can spend them fast, like a hummingbird, and live to be two years old."  Live life while you can.
