<description><![CDATA[<li>I once went through <a href="/wiki/Book" class="mw-redirect" title="Book">books</a> and wanted to understand what <a href="/wiki/Philosophy" title="Philosophy">philosophers</a> said about <a href="/wiki/Life" title="Life">life</a>. Some of them saw everything as dark. "Since we are nothing and we will reach zero, there is no room for <a href="/wiki/Joy" title="Joy">joy</a> and <a href="/wiki/Happiness" title="Happiness">happiness</a> during our temporary life on earth," they said. I read other books, written by <a href="/wiki/Wisdom" title="Wisdom">wiser</a> men. They were saying: "Since the end is zero anyway, let us at least be joyful and <a href="/wiki/Cheerfulness" title="Cheerfulness">cheerful</a> as long as we live." For my own character I like the second view of life, but within these limits: A man who sees the <a href="/wiki/Existence" title="Existence">existence</a> of all mankind in his own person is pathetic. Obviously that man will perish as an individual. What is necessary for any man to be <a href="/wiki/Satisfaction" title="Satisfaction">satisfied</a> and happy as long as he lives is not to <a href="/wiki/Work" title="Work">work</a> for himself, but for those who will come after him. Only in this way can a man of understanding act. Complete pleasure and happiness in life can only be found in working for the <a href="/wiki/Honor" title="Honor">honor</a>, existence and happiness of <a href="/wiki/Future" title="Future">future</a> <a href="/wiki/Generation" title="Generation">generations</a>.
