Welcome to today's #WednesdayWisdom from Way Of The
Renaissance Man Starring Jim Woods
Today's insight was inspired by American journalist, poet,
Civil War veteran and author of "the Devil's Dictionary," named as
one of "The 100 Greatest Masterpieces of American Literature" by
the American Revolution Bicentennial Administration, Ambrose
Bierce.
“Ocean: A body of water occupying about two-thirds of a world
made for man — who has no gills.”
— Ambrose Bierce
The irony of nature is all around us. As the great Ambrose
Bierce reminds us, we live on a planet that’s mostly water, yet we
can’t drink that water, nor can we breathe it. It’s the same
situation with much of life. Man has limited resources, limited
time and limited energy. Yet for most of us, we want to do it all.
Given the finite nature of the time we have on this ocean-dominated
planet, doesn’t it just make sense to live life to the fullest, and
to maximize the truly important aspects of life such as love,
relationships, productive achievement, helping our fellow man? I
certainly think so.
