Weird tweet on mortality idea
Following the reading of The Power of Full Engagement, I picked up How to Think Like Leonardo da Vinci which was frequently cited in the first. It’s a little embarassing to read (one of the times when having a Kindle obscure your reading material comes in handy), but whatever, it has some use.
I’ve noticed that, in addition to mentally processing things I might use for work, or quote for other purposes, I semi-consciously evaluate text or look for things that are tweetable. It bothers me, but I do it. So when I was reading the end of the biography material in the da Vinci book, I had a weird thought about da Vinci’s line on mortality: “As a day well spent brings blessed sleep, so a life well lived brings a blessed death.”
Not even a hundred characters! It seems like social media will eventually become a place for that kind of musing.
Just saying, is all.
