Some say: "Life is so short, we know what tomorrow holds." Therefore, "eat, drink and be merry - for tomorrow we may die." (Isaiah 22:13). This approach, a pagan approach indeed, teaches "The devil with you today. Be immoral if you will, be cynical and ruthless, for there is nothing beyond the present." Scott Fitzgerald summed up this outlook with a pungent phrase that epitomized his own pathetically short life: "Live fast, die young -- and make a handsome corpse." -Rabbi Gilbert Rosenthal.
Live for the long run.
