Most of my writing and the books that I read have to do with life and living it in a victorious manner. I do this because I know today is the only day we have to use. Yesterday cannot be re-used. Tomorrow may never be usable to me. I may pass on today.
All religions deal with the relative brevity of life.
Pretty good advice if you ask me. From the above statements you get the idea pretty quick and plain that the life lived for self is mostly a wasted life. W.C. Fields understood the importance of living each day to the fullest. Just prior to his death a friend entered his hospital room and caught him reading the Bible. It does tell of Jesus.
