LUCRETIUS said life is 2 b enjoyed on Thursday as on Sunday.
Here quoting from The NEW YORKER , Aug 8, 2011, THE ANSWER MAN by Stephen Greenblatt: Wonder did not depend on the dream of an after life; in Lucretius it welled up out of a recognition that we are made of the same matter as the stars and the oceans and all things else. And this recognition was the basis for the way he thought we should live–not in fear of the gods but in pursuit of pleasure, in avoidance of pain.
Let's go practice.
