Life is not as brief as one wants it to be. Many find their lives cut short. Others, perhaps, live longer than they would like, outlive their glory and happiness, fall into decline. I have seen so many deaths, and few who died seemed to believe they had died at the right time.

Bored? Oh no, I'm never bored. Why should I be? Unhappiness and boredom need not go hand in hand. The state of one's sorrow and the state of one's interest might have no relation whatsoever.
