Life in Weeks

I did an interesting experiment yesterday.
I took a white sheet of paper and drew a line. At one end I represented the moment of my birth: at the other the likely point of my death. I estimated and marked in where I am now in my life on the scale of this line. I mediated on this for a few seconds. Furthermore, working on the basis of likely correlates, such as the average age of death of people closely related to you, my state of health, the conditions I live in etc I estimated roughly the year when I think I might die. Then I worked out how many years that was and converted that into the number of weeks that there are between then and now. 2352 weeks. You can try that yourself and be as amazed by
the result as I was. Life is really short.
