Most people have a full measure of life and most people just watch it slowly drip away but if you can summon it all up at the one time in the one place you can accomplish something glorious.

A quote from a dreadful movie sequal but it actually summons up a n interesting theory. That said question for you all, does the above quote have any merit and if so please leave your answers on a postcard with a stamped addressed envelope... You can tell I've a twisted sense of humour or can you I forget.

it would have more merit if someone could provide any evidence about what most people do or do not have in terms of a "measure" of life, what that would even mean, and whether or not most of them watch this undefined thing slowly (or quickl?) drip away. i don't think MOST people feel that way about their lives, but i wouldn't declare outright that they didn't, or that they did, because i do not have that information. i don't think anyone has that information. observing a person from the outside is not a surefire way to know such a subjective thing. we could judge people by whether they write great plays or lead great empires, but that would be pretty superficial. (i ran out of stamps.)

How can most people do both?
