TIME SPENT
It actually takes a lot of energy to live. If we are not careful, we will use it all up living. A man may be allotted threescore and ten years. If he is, he will spend twenty-three years and four months of it asleep. He will work nineteen years and eight months. He will spend ten years and two months in religion and recreation. He will spend six years and ten months eating and drinking. Six years will be spent in traveling. Four years are spent in illness. In this time he will spend two years dressing. After thinking this through, no wonder we are tired. By William E. Thorn, Catch the Little Foxes That Spoil the Vine, published by Fleming H. Revell, 1980
