> It is important to know what's happening in the world. The dose makes the poison. If it's important, you'll hear about it. 99% of what you think of as important you will have forgotten in ten years.

You can fill your life with consuming (even if it feels important, like today's news) or you can fill your life with creating. The choice is yours.
