I've spent most of my life as a journalist, arts and film critic, editor, educator and writing coach. I've been lucky enough to travel extensively and to meet many fascinating famous and ordinary people. I live in a beautiful part of the world that sustains my soul. I am blessed to have an understanding husband and loyal friends. I have a sharp edge, but underneath I am an idealist and a romantic. My heart breaks at all the stupidity, injustice and cruelty in the world. I will never stop fighting against it.
I like this - your placement of the word 'surely' seems to actually cast doubt on the sentiment. It makes you sound strong and vulnerable at the same time - which seems pretty appropros. Well done.
There is, of course, a modicum of vague temporal imprecision in the second sentence. The universe has a predicted life of a mere few more billion years. I could only wish the deaths of you two should coincide, if that is satisfactory.
Well Ema that is about the best anyone could do with the format . You have summed up the human life span , cynically but then has the human race ever been given any reason not to be cynical and besides yours is optimistic compared to what Thomas Hobbes wrote in basically 3 words : nasty, brutish and short
