For some it is about speed: for others it is about Creation.
For some, it is about sex; for others, Love.
For some, life is quick results; for others it is about Truth.
For some, life is about today; for others about 'tomorrow'.
For some, life is about themselves; for others it is about serving others.
For some, it is about living before death; for others about life after death.
For some, life is 'being good': for others, about the Cross.
