*Picture explained at the end.
So I started a post in response to this article from The Star Tribune. It reminded me of the concept of Master and Slave Morality that I learned about last semester and the paper I wrote about it. As a sort of prequel I decided to update and share that paper with you.

I never watched “The Bucket List”, but it’s pretty easy to understand what it’s all about. Essentially, don’t sit around and let life pass you by. It’s too easy to lay in bed everyday and count the ceiling tiles, or sit at your desk all day and spend hours cursing TMZ for beaver shots and nip slips. But none of that is rewarding, at all. After reading almost everything Tim Ferris has written, it’s easy to agree 100% with the way he frames the importance of time and attention (If I could find the exact article I’d link to it, but I can’t remember which one I found it in for the life of me). What it all boils down to is this 1) Time is finite. You only get so much until you fall over dead at some point in the future. 2) Every choice you make comes down to how you want to spend your time. 3) If people treated their time like currency, more people would be happier with their lives.
