A life well lived is dedicated to that which will outlast it.

William James once said, "A life that is well lived is one that is dedicated to that which will outlast it". I agree with this idea, fully. So to me, life is short, and we have just a little time to soak up as much of it as possible; bundle it up in some kind of inspirational packet of wisdom; and send it off for the next generation to unravel. This is why I do what I do in the way of knowledge and wisdom, and is why I will dedicate my life to creating a body of work that will inspire the future of generations. I would most like to do this as a professor of psych/ philos/ comparative religion.
