TO THE EDITOR:
The value of human life simply cannot be estimated or determined by one’s achievements or personal progress.
We are busy, but what are we missing out on in our busy-ness?
We are all students of the same body. We are living a beautiful privilege by participating in this intricately-bound community we call UNC.
Each and every one of us has worked in ways no other individual can fully understand in order to be here.
The pursuit of wholesome goals, the ambition of multifaceted minds and the courage of kindhearted youths — this is the richness we take for granted.
But with hard work must come deliberate rest.
For with rest comes a satisfaction for one’s labor, a thankfulness for the good and the bad and a thirst for the adventure of tomorrow.
That is to say, an hour spent in deep thought — mulling over abstract ideas and possibilities beyond your mundane college routine — holds value in itself. That is not time wasted, but time invested in your mental health and overall happiness.
