This is the joy of 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 thoroughly 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 is a sort of splendid torch
Which I've got a hold of for a moment.
And I want to make it burn as brightly as possible before handing it on
To future generations.

            -George Bernard Shaw
