But it will be those peoples, who can keep alive, and cultivate into a fuller perfection, the art of life itself and do not sell themselves for the means of life, who will be able to enjoy the abundance when it comes.
John Maynard Keynes
Every time we see our action as a means to an end we lose the meaning and value of the action. Deferring happiness and goodness to a more convenient time just undermines love and joy.
