You expect a trivial answer (like success, power, sexuality) but I reply like this: whatever we do, we must be 100 percent committed to doing it, that is, using our fullest presence of mind. Don't do things distractedly, thinking about something else or brooding (what the ordinary person usually does). 🤔

Put another way, I could answer: simply play. In every sphere, in relationships as in work take things lightly in spirit (without anger, possessiveness, selfishness) with total involvement but without taking oneself too seriously, not playing with the other but together with the other. Burn completely in the action, leaving no residue (regrets, remorse, nostalgia, bitterness etc.). :teach:

To never be born, and the second best to die soon

I have heard this phrase before... Who did you copy it from, lad?

It's not copying lad, it's quoting the wisdom of Silenus

I am afraid you got confused: Silenus is a character from Greek mythology, or am I wrong @Creamu ?

Yes, he is a disciple of Dionysos/Bacchus and associated with Satyr. So he is a degenerative lunar type (as they are).

A theme in Greek philosophy and literature is the wisdom of Silenus, which posits an antinatalist philosophy:
It is best not to be born at all; and next to that, it is better to die than to live; and this is confirmed even by divine testimony.
– Aristotle, Eudemus (354 BCE) Consolatio ad Apollonium, sec. xxvii
