It's time to rethink life. I read a quote from Mahatma Ghandi once saying, "The things that will destroy us are: politics without principle; pleasure without conscience; wealth without work; knowledge without character; business without morality; science without humanity; and worship without sacrifice." Then there's that line out of Van Wilder saying, "Don't take life too seriously, you'll never make it out alive." Now, how do I combine the two?
