Live for it. If you die, it's one glorious ouch and then it's done. But living for it? That's slogging away uphill for something that may not be accomplished in your lifetime. Blah.
Sometimes living for a cause is easy - it pushes you along in the right direction. Other times, it can be a burden so it's definitely harder than dying for a cause. On the other hand, you can be going along, living for your cause and end up dying for it accidentally. Causes can have occupational hazards.
Live by far. Once you die, that's it. Your lazy ass can't do any more. To live means testing your convictions at all times no matter what level of adversity you're up against. It means suffering to ensure the life of the ideal. And even if the dead may suffer; the dead cannot further. Only the living can consistently further a cause.
hell, anybody can die! people do it every day. but to give your life to a cause, that's difficult. it's like the old saying; dying is easy, comedy is hard.

Dying is the easy way out.
