This is the true joy of life...

This is the true joy of life,

the being used up for a purpose

recognized by yourself as a mighty one;

being a force of nature instead of a feverish,

selfish little clot 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 community,

and as long as I live,

it is my privilege to do for it what I can. .
