“Since the dawn of recorded history something like a hundred and ten billion human beings have been born in to this world, and not a single one of them made it. There are 6.8 billion people on the planet, roughly 60 million of them die every year. 60 million people… That comes out to about a hundred and sixty thousand per day! I read this quote once when I was a kid: ‘We live alone, we die alone, everything else is just an illusion’.  It used to keep me up at night… We all die alone. So why am I supposed to spend my life working, sweating, struggling for an illusion?”
