I have a hard time understanding how a person who has ever talked to another person in their life could have that viewpoint.
> Everything we do is in anticipation of the future. When that future comes, we simply reset to the next one.

Really? Do "we"? I don't. Maybe Sahil does, but he also realised his parents were mortal and our lives are finite in his 30s (?). I find this trend on social media and in blogs where people make a personal discovery and frame it as if it applies to everyone really condescending. I don't even mean to sound so cynical, but somehow it just rubs me the wrong way.
The same with how he just assumes everyone was lucky enough to have parents who love and care about them (and each other).
