Social Contraction

As soon as we entered into the social contract with our fellow man we started down the path toward sacrificing all our individual liberties for the sake of others' individual liberties. Everyone is sacrificing, however, so no one will have any left.

Rather than agreeing to disagree, we all just agree to not have an opinion at all.

Procrastination

You can cram for a test you are taking the next day.

You can scramble at the last minute to meet a deadline at work.

But you can't make up for the live you haven't lived the moment before you realize it is over.
