Life is difficult
When it's idle
It seems meaningless
And void.
Life is useless
When wasted
For insignificant things
It becomes dead.
But, if life is maximized
By indulging in useful activity
Where passion is expressed
In endeavor that is productive
Life then becomes something
Great to spend and live with!
