Life Is Too Short Comments

Lovely Thoughts! Happy Thanksgiving.

Best poem I have read for quite some time! Thank you for sharing this, Bharati! Five stars!

Such a beautiful poem with so much wisdom. Your last stanza is the creed that we should all live by!

Thoughts of 'God', flowers, food, weather, politics, strife, etc. etc. etc. are enough to keep poets BUSY for the foreseeable future! ! ! ***** stars

As you may have heard, I, Bri, do not (though I used to) believe in 'God' or god(s) . As for 'a purpose', is the purpose for human happiness OR for gratification for some almighty creator of mankind? ? Or is it 'something else'?

To 'live every moment With love, kindness and peace' sounds like an unattainable goal. I'd accept having 'peace' even if I could NOT have all three. Some ice cream would also be 'nice' to have. : )

Icont.) both 'hatred' and 'animosity' refer to a strong dislike or ill will, 'hatred' is generally considered a more intense and absolute form of dislike

dear Bharati, I suggest 'every moment.....passes', not 'pass' ;) (cont.)

(cont.) destiny definition 2: hidden power believed to control what will happen in the future; fate. 'he believes in destiny' Similar: future fate fortune doom lot portion due nemesis dole providence predestination divine decree

And WHO/WHAT controls/directs 'destiny'? ? DESTINY: /ˈdestənē/ noun the events that will necessarily happen to a particular person or thing in the future. 'she was unable to control her own destiny' OR..(cont.)

'TRANSITORY': tran·si·to·ry /ˈtranzəˌtôrē, ˈtran(t) səˌtôrē/ adjective not permanent. Thank god or the devil or both that LIFE is 'TRANSITORY'! !
