But, just since Christ, my 60 years was insignificant – not only to the world, but to the timeline. If I looked at my life in the context of how long man has been around or will be around, it’s a blip. If I looked at it in context of how long the earth has been in existence, it’s not even a blip. It’s a nanosecond.
