My regrets were once my dreams

[[Mountains and blue sky in background]] / et: Live today like it is your last day? / et: ABSOLUTE NONSENSE / et: echo, what if you knew you were going to die tonight? / echo: Um, live the day fully? Be nice to everyone, do the rhings I always wanted to do- / et: NONSENSE! / et: When you know your death is so immediate, you'll essentially be overcome by fear of death. You would be so paralyzed by this fear that you won't be able to do things even at your normal activity level. So we can't live like this is- / echo: et, it just tells us to make sure we don't have any regrets when we're finally gonna die / et: ... / [[LATER, et is at the doctor. Anatomy of human head, brain, skull with nerves and blood vessels in background]] / Doctor: et, you've been diagnosed with brain cancer. I'm sorry, but you most probably be living only a few more days / et: Wh.. What?! / Doctor: I do hope you've enjoyed every wonderful thing in your life so far / et(thinking): I'm going to die as a person who never read Harry Potter / {{bottom text:It is Miss.K who (perhaps indirectly) motivated me to start reading Harry Potter.

Here lies et, who thought Wingardium Leviosa was a garden herb. His entire life.

It is Miss.K who (perhaps indirectly) motivated me to start reading Harry Potter. 

This comic is dedicated to her today, on her birthday.

Happy Birthday, and thanks for getting one regret out of the way ^_^

But all of us have many wants

[[An 8 weeks old calico kitten (Chloe) is hiding under a red velvety blanket with only her face shown]] / My reflection on Plato Complete Works is that / they fell off the shelf by themselves

No I'm not hiding, because Courage is knowing what not to fear

Curiosity under constraints

[[A quadratically increasing curve with P on y axis and time on x axis]] / p=No. of items bookmarked till date to be read later/No. of bookmarked items read during the day / {{bottom text:P can be generalized as, / P = (Procrastination x Curiosity to learn) / (Actual learning)}} / {{title:Thanks to all those Firefox quick-bookmarking plugins without which the steep graduation towards the end of the curve wouldn't have been possible}}

P can be generalized as,

P = (Procrastination x Curiosity to learn) / (Actual learning)
