Oh don't apologize! Let me show you something:

10,000 seconds = 2.8 hours
100,000 seconds = 27.8 hours
1,000,000 seconds = 11.6 days
10,000,000 seconds = 115.7 days
1,000,000,000 seconds = 31.7 YEARS

I haven't even lived for a billion seconds yet and I was born in 94! A billion is a truly obscene high quantity. I don't think there's a moral way to gain that much wealth, and if there is, it's an exceptionally rare possibility.

I am 1,735,668,000 seconds old, and so I have seen some shit. Donald Trump is just an unseemly hiccup in an insignificant span of time. There were ghastly horrors before him and there will be ghastly horrors after him. These nuisances seem important because this is your now, you'll realize how little they meant when this is your then. As in, it seemed so important then, while you look back at the Land of Then from the clear hilltops of After.

I hope so. I'd rather this all be something my kids or grandkids ask me about.
