“The demonstration is trivial and left to the reader” or any variation of that. Fuck you, do the fucking demonstration.

Got this so much in my engineering courses.

Nothing is more permanent than a temporary law.

I don’t want to come across as if I know better, but I would like to offer an alternate view.

You might not have kept that promise, but you’ve kept many others, which might be more important than that.

It is easy to feel down on that one missed promise while many more were kept. We are human after all and some promises are broken.

Life is an infinite series of missed opportunity. It seems dark, but to me, it’s comforting because I don’t have that obsession that I need to do everything in fear of missing out anymore. I can feel more in the present and enjoy all the memories I create with my loved ones.

And more than that, knowing that many opportunities will be missed because of the nature of life, I can enjoy the opportunities I do have more because I know I’ve made time for them.

You’ve made time for many opportunities with your wife. Be proud of that.

I want to offer you my sincerest condolences and I hope that life is treating you right.
