Upvoted just to hear I wasn't the only one who's literally had their breath taken away by that passage. I was listening to it on audiobook while I was running, and about halfway through that passage I stopped dead and cried. My eyes are welling up even remembering that moment.
I've never been a workaholic, and have always been pretty laid back - but since hearing that passage, I've had a much more sage, compassionate, patient and relaxed outlook on things. It's acted as a kind of momento mori for me - don't get too upset about things; don't get too worried about things; just make the best you can of what's going on now for yourself and those around you.
