"Gum Balls were one of many things I loved as a kid. The bright color and candy flavor clashed with the reality that soon my cherished treasure would be a hard and flavorless chunk of rubber in my mouth. On a long enough timeline and when you stand back far enough, all treasured moments are essentially a Gum Ball, so fleeting and so small, they might not have even happened. Despite this, these Gum Ball moments still mean something to us. They happen and they pass. We could choose to save the Gum Ball by never chewing on it and keep it forever, but then we'd never experience it either."
