Here is a jewel for you to ponder. It is a quotation by Jack London, the author. London wrote "Call of the Wild", "The Sea-Wolf", and "White Fang"; all of which I read as a youth in reduced form. Hope you like it and that it makes you think.
"I would rather be ashes than dust!
I would rather that my spark should burn out in a brilliant blaze than it should be stifled by dry-rot.
I would rather be a superb meteor, every atom of me in magnificent glow, than a sleepy and permanent planet.
The function of man is to live, not to exist.
I shall not waste my days trying to prolong them.
I shall use my time."
