The wise man does not expose himself needlessly to danger, since there are few things for which he cares sufficiently; but he is willing, in great crises, to give even his life – knowing that under certain conditions it is not worthwhile to live.
Aristotle

This could be taken two ways. One as a more or less cry out for an obviously psychotic human being who bemoans the existence of his life, or two as one who appreciates statements such as these for the truths they hold. In this case, I am the latter.  Why? Aristotle is simply making this point- when it comes down to it, there are few things that actually matter to you a great enough deal that you trouble yourself with them. It is to these things that a man may give his life to, simply because he knows that all the rest of the other things he rejects are not worth wasting time or living for.

The cool part of this, is that rather than this be a statement of earthly goods, and it definetely applies, it is also a statement of your walk with the Lord. The earth would offer things that really mean nothing. But when it comes down to it, a man died for your sins. Gave a life that was his to give, one without even a mistake to blot its perfection. Life isn’t worth living, unless it is lived in light of the finished work of the cross, focus on that and you cannot really go wrong.
