The River of Life flows without emotion.
The River surges. The River quiets.
The River overflows its banks. The River dries to a trickle.
The River swirls and storms. The River becomes calm.
The River runs clear. The River runs dark with silt.
The River is indifferent to what benefit
or what harm is caused by its water.
The River is the River, and that is all there is to it.

Without service, life becomes meaningless.

I would rather that my spark should burn out in a brilliant blaze
than it should be stifled by dry rot.

I shall not waste my days in trying to prolong them.
I shall use my time.
