YOU COULD LEAVE LIFE RIGHT NOW |
| In comparing sins |
| The way that people do |
| Theophrastus says |
| Those done out of desire |
| Are worse than those |
| Done out of anger |
| (Which is good philosophy) |
| The angry man |
| Seems to turn his back |
| On reason out of a kind of pain and inner convulsion |
| But the man motivated by desire |
| Who is mastered by pleasure |
| Seems somehow more self-indulgent, less manly in his sins |
| Theophrastus is right |
| And philosophically sound |
| To say the sin committed out of pleasure |
| Deserves a harsher rebuke |
| Than the one committed out of pain |
| The angry man is more like a victim |
| Of wrongdoing |
| Provoked by pain to anger |
| The other man rushes into wrongdoing |
| On his own |
| Moved to action by desire |
| You could leave life right now |
| Let that determine what you do and say and think |
| You could leave life right now |
| You could leave life right now |
| You could leave life right now |
| Let that determine what you do and say and think |
| You could leave life right now |
| You could leave life right now |
| If the gods exist |
| Then to abandon human beings is not frightening |
| The gods would never subject you to harm |
| And if they don’t exist |
| Or don’t care what happens to us |
| What would be the point |
| Of living in a world |
| Without gods or Providence? |
| But they do exist |
| They do care what happens to us |
| And everything a person needs to avoid real harm |
| They have placed within him |
| If there were anything harmful on the other side of death |
| They would have made sure that the ability to avoid it was within you |
| If it doesn’t harm your character |
| How can it harm your life? |
| Nature would not overlook such dangers |
| Through failing to recognize |
| Or because it saw them but was powerless to prevent or correct them |
| To prevent or correct them |
| (Ey) |
| Nor would it ever |
| Through inability or incompetence |
| Make such a mistake as to let good and bad things happen indiscriminately to |
| good and bad alike |
| Good and bad alike |
| Good and bad alike |
| But death and life |
| Success and failure |
| Pain and pleasure |
| Wealth and poverty |
| All these happen to good and bad alike |
| Good and bad alike |
| Good and bad alike |
| Good and bad alike |
| But death and life |
| Success and failure |
| Pain and pleasure |
| All these happen to good and bad alike |
| And they are neither noble nor shameful and hence neither good |
| Nor bad |
| You could leave life right now |
| Let that determine what you do and say and think |
| You could leave life right now |
| You could leave life right now |
| You could leave life right now |
| Let that determine what you do and say and think |
| You could leave life right now |
| You could leave life right now |
