"What ought one who is mortal do, I beg..."

Sorry lovelies. Last week I worked 60 hours, most of which during the weekend and on Friday. Yesterday I put in far too many hours as well. I have absolutely zero inspiration today. Will you accept a few ancient words of wisdom? Because I need to read these words again and again today:

Athenaeus, Deipnosophists 7.12-13 quoting from:
Philetairos in 'The Huntress'

 

"What ought one who is mortal do, I beg,
Other than live life pleasurably day by day
If he has any way to do it? But we should examine
This very thing when looking into human matters
Rather than fretting over what tomorrow will bring.
It is altogether bizarre to hoard money
For the next day at home."
