Whether you live three thousand years or thirty thousand, remember that the only life you can lose is the one you are living now in the present.... In this sense the longest life and the shortest come to the same thing, for life in the present is the same for all. ... One´s loss is limited to that one fleeting instant; one cannot lose either the past or the future, for no one can take from one what one does not have. ...So when the longest- and the shortest-lived among us die their loss is precisely equal, because the only life of which one can be deprived is life in the present, since this is all one has.
