"This is the true joy in
life...being used for a purpose recognized by
yourself as a mighty one...being
a force of Nature instead of a feverish
selfish little clod of ailments
and grievances complaining that the world
will not devote itself to
making you happy...I am of the opinion that my
life belongs to the whole
community and as long as I live it is my privilege
to do for it whatever I
can. I want to be used up when I die. For the harder
I work the more I live.
I rejoice in life for its own sake. Life is no brief
candle to me. It's a sort
of splendid torch which I've got to hold up for
the moment and I want to
make it burn as brightly as possible before handing
it on to future generations."
-George Bernard Shaw
So it was with Bill.
