  • Ozgirl, there was a little book of sayings by the Nobel laureate Rabindranath Tagore...FIREFLIES...he used to scratch them kinda random on paper napkins and such...at one time I had them mostly memorized...anyway, one of them reminds me of this beautiful post of yours:

    "Open thy door to that which must go; for the loss, when obstructed, becomes unseemly." This post was edited by Benedict Arnold at April 18, 2017 7:11 PM MDT

  • Ozgirl, ima say that those thoughts that resonate...in some sense, they really are yours/ours; the poets are just better at putting them into words for us, and then we recognize them...and repeat with delight.

  • Something, an essay I read at school has always been in my mind ... It was advice from an older priest to new priests on Sunday sermons... In short he said don't spend countless hours trying to right something dazzling .. there are already many worthwhile sermons written... Instead spend the time learning his to deliver them eloquently... That has always stayed with me ... Don't try to reinvent the wheel .. use what's available

    It's a failed attempt at profoundness.

  • So it is ok if someone takes your computer, your car, or other items that represent value and cost to you?

  • One suspects that if your home is plundered, your car stolen, or your bank account hacked and stolen you not feel this way.  Do you believe you will really say, "Oh well." to the loss of thousands of dollars of possessions or earnings?  If you are sincere please transfer your bank account to mine.

    If I am enjoying something, is the experience and the feeling not mine?
