The Average Man, Who Does Not Know What To Do With His Life, Wants Another One Which Will Last Forever.

My dear,

The average man, who does not know what to do with his life, wants another one which will last forever.

A wiser being would ask this man why he makes plans for a second life when the first is wasted so. Why they throw their dreams into the future when the present is a perfectly good place to place them. Why they complain with their mouth, and not their hands – and physically do something about their situation.

A wiser being would ask the average man to ponder a life in which they are given no second chances, a life in which you must grab opportunity at the first sight of it… what would the average man do then?

Falsely yours,
Anatole France
