Living Life So Well

My friend Kate has a very meaningful and compelling post about the meaning of life (and death). The story she tells of Rachel Corrie is important, as is this quote:

I thanked her for attaching meaning to her death. The ultimate success, I think, is to conquer the living of life so well that even in one's death there retains meaning, hope, and political agitation.

A lot of times, people ask: What would you die for?

The better question is: What would you live for?

Answering the latter will answer the former.
