Excerpt from What Makes Life Worth Living?: A Series of Eight Friday Evening Discourses, Delivered Before Congregation Beth Israel, Philadelphia, Pa., During the Winter 5664 ('03-'04)Life 's but a walking shadow, a poor player, That struts and frets his hour upon the stage, And then is heard no more, it is a tale told by an idiot, Full of sound and fury, signifying nothing. (macbeth) Is life worth living? - The question has been asked at various epochs of mankind's history and answered both in the affirmative and in the negative. No - says the pessimist, Life is a failure, and putting on sackcloth, with Job, he curses the day on which he saw the light, and says with Koheleth: I hated life because I felt displeased with the work that is wrought under the sun, for all is vanity and vexation of spirit.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
