Following on from yesterday’s post, I’ve been impressed by this quote from Henry David Thoreau:
“The cost of a thing is the amount of … life which is required to be exchanged for it, immediately or in the long run.”
Many of us likely believe time is our most valuable possession. Yet, I’ve never considered the trade-off as boldly as Thoreau.
But instead of getting lost in the abstract, this may just be my way of admitting I’d like a Roomba.
