The expert

What specific experience makes fast the expert on the subject of a life well lived?

The little light

The little light of my life's purpose has been sometimes dimmed by my own constant doing and not human being...

The cost

If the cost of your behavior does not exceed the account of your personality, you'll never change.

The more

The more you own,
The more you are owned.

Live your life in means

When you take more than you give,
you make yourself a servant to the excess...
You cannot quit,
You cannot walk away,
You cannot be free until your debt has been paid in full.
...so live your life within your own means or sacrifice the time to make amends.
