I don't have the same approach of relentlessly optimizing every waking moment. I'm not sure it's healthy to look at life through the lens of someone on their death throes. Thinking about death makes me more nihilistic, if anything. We are mammals with an ego and a strong survival instinct. Having children is part of that but at the end of the day these hormones are using us as a tool to propagate the species. Humans also have the instinct of bringing order to chaos. I think that's what you're reading in this post. Your time can be managed in a balanced way without having to neglect your family. You're always going to wish you had more time to spend with memaw. Time flows like water down the stream, or down the drain if you prefer. C'est la vie.
