Russell

Bertrand Russell says that man is free "to examine, to criticize, to
know, and in imagination to create." Man is free to do this and yet at
the end when death comes none of it matters, nothing that he has
accumulated or learned is important. He is powerless in an imperfect
world. We often worry about have much we have and what will happen to
it when we are gone, but our time will have run out and the decisions
that we worry about so much will be answered by someone else who will
think that this is all so important.
