"This is the true joy in life --
   Being used for a
     purpose recognized by
 yourself as a mighty one;
   being thoroughly worn
     out before you are
   thrown on the scrap heap;
  Being a force of nature
instead of a feverish selfish
     little clod of ailments
   and grievances,
  complaining that the world
  will not devote itself to
    making you happy"
