Is it our past vs our future? I don’t understand this.
I interpret it as drawing a distinction between how we live before vs after coming to terms with the fact that our time is limited.
Maybe it’s better to live a full delusional life. #2Lifes2Live!
When you are young you live like you don't care about your future. At some point you realise that you have only one body and that certain things will only get worse, so then you start caring and living more carefully.
Think about it like a mid-life crisis, or some other point in time where people say "What am I doing with my life?" and then decide (and have the means) to make a change. Now the second life has begun.
