I was speaking with a friend (well, someone I barely knew, but would consider a friend like the members of TFP are friends) about some random philosophical things and I asked him if he believes in a separation between the body and the spirit. He replied with:

This made me think a lot, and I realized that life is obviously too short to waste time. People are so caught up in where they
will be that they don't think about where they are now. In my opinion, the future should always be in mind, but it should not saturate the mind. The most depressed people I have ever known are the people who spent their young years in a mad dash to success. They missed the time that could have been spent with their friends or taking trips. A man can still get through medical school and enjoy his life. A person can still work their way up to being CEO of a major company and spend time with his/her family and friends. A persons job does not have to be their life, just a part of it. So that's that. SHA LA LA LA LA LA LIVE FOR TODAY!
