Bodling"Therefore the best thing is to enjoy the things that you have in the present, to do everything in the present, and to let what is evil flow past you. This is the way to make fun of the world. In short, anyone who wants to live quietly should put the proposition to himself that in the world he will see nothing but vanity. He should not be sad if something evil happens, but he should rather be happy when good things are present. If you are thrust into the obligation of having to help make things better, do what is permissible, and God will do what He wills."
