To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
If the present were not always sacrificed to the future, it would be strange how little men ever really live in the present. They are always expecting — indeed, for the most part idly waiting for what will come next : one after another of the customary things of daily routine— dinner, bed, break- fast, to-morrow, next week, next month, next year, and so on in monotonous sequence day after day and year after year; spend life, as Seneca said, in preparing to live, and are sur- prised at last by t...he day which has no to-morrow. All the while they thus waste and would hasten life by getting through the time they complain bitterly of the shortness of life. No doubt many a maker of this reflection has solemnly said to himself, What folly is this ! Henceforth I am resolved to live in the present and make the most of it, yet a minute afterwards has found himself brooding over the past, or musing of the future, or poisoning the present with regrets for the past and frets for the future. As desire is the basis of hope, life without hope is pretty much organic life without desire, life with no smile on its face, life so low as to be only still life scarce living or worth living.
