Life !
“We pass through the present with eyes blindfolded.We are permitted merely to sense and guess at what we are actually experiencing. Only later when the cloth is untied are we given a chance to glance back at the past and find out what we experienced and what meaning it has.”
Just a a few lines from this Milan Kundera short story I read coupla weeks back. To summarize it real short and sweet
“Life is lived forward,understood backward !”

Reminds me of a George Costanza quote
“The most unfair thing about life is the way it ends. I mean, life is tough. It takes up a lot of your time. What do you get at the end of it? A death. What’s that, a bonus? I think the life cycle is all backwards. You should die first, get it out of the way. Then you live in an old age home. You get kicked out when you’re too young, you get a gold watch, you go to work. You work forty years until you’re young enough to enjoy retirement. You drink alcohol, you party, and you get ready for High School. You go to grade school, you become a kid, you play, you have no responsibilities, you become a little baby, you go back into the womb, you spend your last 9 months floating… then you finish off as an orgasm! Amen.””
