LIFE

WHAT is life? 1t is supposed to be some
w thing that most people value highly.
w vet how few there are who are willing
to preserve 1t. For example. every one talks
about methods Of attaining long life, yet no one
cares to pructlse them. The cOmmOnest rules
Of health are constantly violated by the great
majority. Doctors know this. and rarely. II
ever. advise their patients how to live, hut give
them medicine to tide them over some temporary
setback.
Life has been called an illusion, q dream. a
bubble, a curtain raiser and a forgetting. In
reality. 1t Is merely something that no man
wants to part from too suddenly, but which he
will always sell on the instnHent plan to the
highest bidder. The soldier CANDLES with the
state for the price OF his life. the immigrant
with the miner, the rich man with luxury.
At its hest, life Is only what We learn to
avoid.
