And you run and you run
To catch up with the sun
But it's sinking
And racing around to come up behind you again
The sun is the same in a relative way
But you are older
Shorter of breath
And one day closer to death

One of the basic assumptions of life - you want more and more of everything. This is what keeps you going, this is your aspiration, your motivation
But in the end, where does it lead to....you came alone, you will go alone.
Probably the important thing is what you will leave behind....for your loved ones, for your children, for the world at large. Will they remember you? And what will they remember you as?
Somebody who was just another person in the whole cog or one who tried, in his own little way, to make a difference.
