RE: A Past Worth Having

Great post. 👍

Reminds me of the meme that says when people time-travel to the past, they're always worried about making a tiny change that would alter their present, but people never seem to think about the fact that a tiny change in the present can alter their future.

I LOVE Pratchett. I just finished The Last Continent and am starting The Truth now. 💛💛

My favorite quote of his is from Making Money:
"'Good heavens, potatoes are worth more than gold!’ ‘Surely not!’ ‘If you were shipwrecked on a desert island, what would you prefer, a bag of potatoes or a bag of gold?’ ‘Yes, but a desert island isn’t Ankh-Morpork!’ ‘And that proves gold is only valuable because we agree it is, right? It’s just a dream. But a potato is always worth a potato, anywhere. A knob of butter and a pinch of salt and you’ve got a meal, anywhere. Bury gold in the ground and you’ll be worrying about thieves for ever. Bury a potato and in due season you could be looking at a dividend of a thousand per cent.'"

Wow, that's also a great passage! Pratchett was so good, always working in great quotes and passages. He's one of the few who was consistently great.
