Every time I see a Facebook post from one year ago, two years ago, ten years ago, it makes me faint. Yes, I literally pass out. When I come to, I say, “Can you believe it’s been fifteen years?”
I can.
I’ve seen many fifteen year intervals. They’re nothing. NOTHING. That’s 2010. That’s the birth of the Ipad. That’s Toy Story 3. Facebook was new. Fifteen years is a blip on a screen.
But invariably it causes me to think. If that fifteen years was quick, (and it was) what about fifteen years from now? Try 2040. Now do the math. How old will you be?
Ouch.
2040!? Perhaps we’ve wasted enough time on this screen. Maybe the Bible wisdom applies. “Number your days.” And yes, it hurts a little bit.
Can I alphabetize them instead?
