That's incredibly profound.

Things not created /
Can't be saved or recovered /
Nor can they be lost

In addition, things saved are a burden. Whether in physical or digital realms, entropy lives and reigns. No matter the organization strategy, labeling/nesting eventually becomes inadequate, new labeling/nesting needs wind up requiring gobs of reorganization effort. Invariably, old labels/nesting don't quite fit in with the new, requiring unsettling compromises. And of course mistakes will be made, leading unto future confusion.

Paradise - aka peace of mind - lost, peoples!

Furthermore, how about all that time/effort that could have been better spent on new creation(s)?

That new character you're developing? What amazing additional qualities it *might* have had had you applied the time/effort to *it* that, instead, you blew on trying to find a meme you once thought so affected you that it would guide your ongoing enlightenment for all eternity - if not longer!

(Oh, and by the way, *if* you found it, it didn't mean nearly as much as you thought it once did anyway, right?)

Let it go. In the context of "practice makes perfect", you're creating better today than you did yesterday anyway. Cast aside the lead vest of permanence! Become airborne today!
