This is the way

My view is that life is a marathon where you set the pace. You can choose to sprint against others but sooner or later you’ll quit that race by choice or by mortal exhaustion.

Or as Soft Play put it in their song “Cheer Up London”:

Put another ‘0’ on your paycheck, are you done digging your grave yet? Cheers up London, it’s not that bad, cheer up London, you’re already dead and it’s not that bad.
