“Human beings do not live forever. We live
less than the time it takes to blink an eye, if we
measure our lives against eternity. So it may be
asked what value is there to a human life. There is
so much pain in the world. What does it mean to
have to suffer so much if our lives are nothing
more than the blink o f an eye? I learned a long
time ago, that a blink o f an eye in itself is nothing.
But the man who lives that span, he is something.
He can fill that tiny span with meaning, so its
quality is immeasurable though its quantity may
be insignificant. A man m ust fill his life with
meaning, meaning is not automatically given to
life. It is hard work to fill o n e’s life with meaning.
A life filled with meaning is worthy o f rest. I want
to be worthy o f rest when I am no longer here. ”
