That line from the father's song in Mary Poppins, where he's going on about how nothing can go wrong, in Britain in 1910.  That's about the point I realized the boy was gonna die in a trench.

In A Beginner's Guide to Immortality, Cliff Pickover presents the new york times best seller list from 50 years ago. And today, you wouldn't recognize a single title on the list. His point is that most of us will leave no mark on history. Your legacy will be carried for a few generations at most, and then your entire existence will simply fade into the mists of time.

If this thought disturbs you, you're holding on.

Holding on?

What do you mean by that? Holding on to something you shouldn't hold on to, or something that you should try to never lose?

I took it to mean clinging, desire, grasping or attachment. As the Buddhists call trishna.
