A poorly developed system, I would say. When we finally realize
how we should have lived our lives, it is too late to put our
knowledge into practice. And trying to impart our wisdom to our
children is equally futile. Whoever or whatever created the
human condition, (random evolution according to science), did
amazingly well when it developed our fractally intricate bodies.
Too bad it fumbled the ball by giving us so little chance to
reap the benefits of the often harsh lessons of our lives.

All you have to do is seize the moment, and you can benefit. Go forth and purchase a pump for that basement of yours, and install it. Then one of those harsh lessons will have borne fruit! :-)
