Not a day goes by that I don't ask myself, why am I still here. Then, I'll get a text message or a phone call that somebody needs something. Sure enough, those people will find another benefactor when I'm dead and gone.

Like a Greek philosopher, I'd prefer to have that luxury to plop down at my piano and play music all day.
