Life ( Archived) (111)

I've played them all, here.


Is that wrong?


It's fun.

uncomplicated can be boring though.. the routine does it

If you cannot change your life , change your attitude to your life then it will become simple and good, is that what we mean by simple?

Very true Chris, getting back to simple things. I have always liked simple things, like smelling the roses, walking my dog, etc.

Most of my drama has gone. A person out of the picture. Soon back to my maiden name. I am very happy for that, it is a shame but it ended real bad, but now I have my freedom. That itself is a simple thing and I love it.

Chris, I think most did not understand what you meant by the simple way of life. Thanks for making it clear.

The Doberman

“Life is a Dream”

We live, while we see the sun,
Where life and dreams are as one;
And living has taught me this,
Man dreams the life that is his,
Until his living is done.
The king dreams he is king, and he lives
In the deceit of a king,
Commanding and governing;
And all the praise he receives
Is written in wind, and leaves
A little dust on the way
When death ends all with a breath.
Where then is the gain of a throne,
That shall perish and not be known
In the other dream that is death?
Dreams the rich man of riches and fears,
The fears that his riches breed;
The poor man dreams of his need,
And all his sorrows and tears;
Dreams he that prospers with years,
Dreams he that feigns and foregoes,
Dreams he that rails on his foes;
And in all the world, I see,
Man dreams whatever he be,
And his own dream no man knows.
And I too dream and behold,
I dream I am bound with chains,
And I dreamed that these present pains
Were fortunate ways of old.
What is life? a tale that is told;
What is life? a frenzy extreme,
A shadow of things that seem;

And the greatest good is but small,

That all life is a dream to all,
And that dreams themselves are a dream.

Segimundo's monologue
Pedro Calderón de la Barca
(1600-1681)
