Once when I was serving reserve duty (miluim) in the IDF, I was sitting in the synagogue tent learning some Torah, when I happened to overhear some tidbits of conversation between two of my buddies. One of them was Torah-observant, the other one not yet.

The religious one gave him a quick, short answer: "You enjoy This World, while I'll enjoy the World to Come!" Cringe.
