what to do with the time that is given to us

Frodo: "I wish the ring had never come to me, I wish none of this had happened."
Gandalf the Wizard: "So do all who live to see such times, but that is not for them to decide, all we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us."

The problem of our times is that few are deciding to do anything but feather their own nest while watching the tree burn. Pretty strange when you think about it.
Anybody smell smoke?
