Putting a price on your life

We hesitate to put a price on our life. As Master' Card says, some things in life are priceless.

But let's play a game and assume I live for a hundred years. That means I'll have lived for 36,500 days. In this make-belief moment, let's also price my life at a billion dollars. That's upwards of 26,000 dollars of worth each day.

Did I do something worthy of 26,000 dollars today? Silence.

It gets tougher if I divide priceless by 36,500.

There is something unnerving about it. And I think it is unnerving because it doesn't come across as preaching. It has the honesty of a realisation. :)
