Holding forth the word of life, that I may rejoice.

It is not a vain thing for you; because it is your life. Who knows what is good for man in a vain life, which he spendeth as a shadow.

Self defeating and somewhere, somehow, in life you have cheated us all.

Creating secrets, with the only secret being, You, saying, "It is not so".

No hope! Dead!

Giving up? Failing to try?

Failing to love, you have labored in vain.

Notice: The word "living" is not mentioned.
