Fun With The World Comments

Rating: 0.0

I had always wondered if bliss lay somewhere beyond,
For I'm desperate to form with it an everlasting bond.
Is it in being pleasureless or in being pandered?

When I see below a series of Comments by our poet friend, Bri Edwards, I miss him and wonder where he is hiding.....! Nothing is heard of him....in recent days.

Here I see a seeker of bliss who tries first to understand what bliss really is! He comes to the conclusion that neither material wealth nor longevity of life guarantees bliss. The word 'bliss' is an ambiguous term. In the end he realizes that it is elusive. So the only way of achieving it is by turning every defeat into victory, if it is possible. Here I find the maturity of thought and style that far exceeds that of a teenager.

4 - My earlier reference to " Is it in being pleasureless or in being pandered? " was because i wondered who might find " bliss" by being " pleasureless" . I suppose some might, but NOT ME. Besides, as i've mentioned another time, " bliss" is just TOO MUCH HAPPINESS for people to desire/deserve. Bri :)

2 – " Let I be the one who shall make victory out of defeat! " i'd use " me" , not " I" . The idea of turning 'defeat' to 'victory', or some similar idea is not new, and i like the concept. I'll not read the Poet's Notes at this time. bri :)

1 - Pleasureless and pandered seem to be extreme opposites! ! ! " wealth" =? " nothing is defined and concrete, " ...some things in MY world ARE defined and/or " concrete" , concrete for example!
