Government of the self was the original basis for republican government, reflecting the view that civil society was much more than politics. Society was made up of men and women who gave order to their lives by entering into associations on a voluntary basis, quite apart from government, for all the various reasons of fellowship, philanthropy, faith and commerce.
Life Is Short? Bullshit! Life Is Long
For most of us this is so very true. Life is not short and we will live to reap the whirlwind if we foolishly sow the wind.

It’s a matter of balance. I don’t think 50 years ahead but I don’t live like there’s no tomorrow either. The problem with conscientious and disciplined people is that they plan and plan and never seem to do anything else.
But generally speaking I agree. We live in a culture of instant gratification, and that is historically a clear sign of decline.

Most thing are a matter of balance, Paradigm, though not all who are conscientious and disciplined fail to act. I do, however, admit that many of them can’t adapt to changing situations as well.
It’s also not just instant gratification. There’s a fatalistic and quasi-nihilistic component to the whole thing as well.
