I always loved browsing such posts on reddit, so thought I should make one on lemmy too

Edit: Usually these kind of posts only used to have excerpts from books or ancient proverbs, but now I am seeing a lot more quotes from shows/movies/games are also resonating with people. It’s pretty cool to see.

    With all of the time I have, I am an insult to the dead.

    In context, the person is saying they feel like they are wasting their life and that innumerable people in the past would’ve killed to have the kind of free time or life they have.

    It reminds me to be grateful for both the time I have alive and the quality of that time.

    I find it extremely motivating in pursuing my various personal pursuits. I should seem like a Renaissance master to the people of the past and anything less is insulting.
