in simpler fonts

The western convictions are seeking a hold but will they prove stronger than conventions old and conventions proven to balance the realm with not good nor evil affixed to the helm? With haste there comes greediness worry and want and seeking one's riches to display and flaunt and this all runs counter to what the gods know and this does lead mankind his hatred to grow. Is it therefore better to while away the shortest and finest of each wasting day, to wallow in a job ones hates and despises in order to earn only long-delayed prizes? Or should one much rather live life to the full and cast off possessions and ignore the pull of all that the media says we should want and write our life stories in simpler fonts? We cannot take with us the things we now hold and will not still want them when we have turned old therefore we ought spend all our riches and hours on memories unique to us and to ours. Who am I to offer this foolish advice? And can my poor warnings be shown to suffice? There is now no telling wherefore we must wait and look at this writing at a later date.
