Little inventory of the commonplace

"Life is just what happens to you, while your busy making other plans".
Jonh Lennon



According to Roman philosopher Seneca, the part of life that we really live is small. For all the rest of existence is not life, but merely time. In this sense, these small memories and actions of everyday life – though devoid of relevance – are the exact materialization of the passage of time. And although time is important to us because it leads us to death, it remains often unconsciously acknowledged, as well as most of our daily thoughts, actions, gestures, and chats. In other words, we seldom feel the flow of time, even though we know it is passing each minute.
