- “You might realize that buying an expensive car isn’t worth the precious time you have to sacrifice in order to get it. You might realize that maybe you don’t admire a person’s post on Instagram displaying their new purchases from Gucci. Instead, you think of all of the more meaningful and exciting ways they could have spent their time. You start to value your time more than unnecessary, superficial purchases which depreciate in value. You realize that these “things” do not define people, and that your time is worth more than them. But this isn’t just about buying things that you don’t need. Your life, in its essence, is purely a collection of moments in time. Where you spend your time, you spend your life. War is grounded in the notion of triumph and defeat. It is zero-sum”.– Bruce Jackson
