Stop worrying! It will all be over in an instant!

This relates to Kaylia in that we can become terribly anxious about the future ... but we need to look at things from the right perspective.

New carbon dating methods have shown that the demise of the dinosaurs was almost certainly caused by the impact of a 10 km wide rock! .... 66 million years ago .... and it took about 5,000 years for the earth's environment to recover.
Now .... consider that human recorded history goes back for maybe 5,000 years .... and that we've been driving cars for a bit over 100 years ..... watching TV for about 50 years ..... using the Internet for about 20 years.....

All the things we are so worried about .... are less than a grain of sand on the shores of reality..... and like the dinosaurs, we humans can disappear in an instant.

So ..... Stop worrying! It will all be over in an instant!

.... and the converse of this is?

Be mindful of the present moment. Look for the joy .... and store the memory.
At the end of the day, memories are all.
