Since we control neither life nor death,
we should make the best of things as they are,
and give ourselves fully 
to the time left for living.

Being what the times call for
and doing what is needed
is a good way to live our life.

What would we gain by not doing that?
What would we lose by doing that?

Live to see what is happening,
to know what's what
and what is called for in response
in each situation as it arises.
Do it,
and then live to see what happens
in response to that,
and what is called for there,
and do that...

And so on throughout the time left for living.

If you have a better idea,
live in its service
all the days of your life,
and may they be days well spent upon the earth!
