I now go through the wonder and perfection of my days a little afraid that they will be taken away from me.

² And I declared that the dead,
       who had already died,
       are happier than the living,
       who are still alive.
 ³ But better than both
       is he who has not yet been,
       who has not seen the evil
       that is done under the sun.
~ Ecc. 4
