Life is the C between B and D. 

B: birth – D: death – C: choice

French philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre

“I bargained with Life for a penny, 
and Life would pay no more, 
However I begged at evening
When I counted my scanty store;

Life is a just employer. 
He gives you what you ask,
But once you have set the wages,
Why, you must bear the task.

I worked for a menial’s hire,
Only to learn, dismayed,
That any wage I had asked of Life,
Life would have willingly paid” 

Jessie B. Rittenhouse

Make your choice!
