    • @MasteryOrder
      @MasteryOrder 3 года назад +4

      @@slXD100 A monk lifestyle means removing yourself from life, which is the opposite extreme of embracing every pleasure and temptation that comes your way.
      It refers to trust in a man. A worthy man is a man who can be trusted, who can keep his word, who can fulfil his promises regardless of the situation. A man who can be trusted that he will do what he has promised to do even when things are hard. A man who can keep it together when the situation is so bad that it could be understandable if he broke down. A man who will keep his word not only when there is no temptation, but when temptations are everywhere.
      Trust is the base of lifetime relationships and families. All the best to you!

    Good poems! Life is a struggle and even when it is in the balance because of the desire of my enemies I will still fight their evil until victory. I have mad love for the most worthy man and passion among other things. When we love in silence, at a distance, then from this our feelings are only stronger over the years to then fall in an avalanche of tsunami on the beloved and give us unreal happiness, which no one on Earth has never felt ever and with anyone!)

      I think you'll find that even then, many men fell short. Thus the need for this poem. People keep acting like folks today stray to easily, or quit too soon, or break far too quickly. But the truth is, we are as we have always been. Thats why the wise and learned continue to compose works such as this. And the truth is, even they. . . .with all their wisdom fell short at time. But it was the thought that counts, the desire to do better. As long as we have that state of progressive thinking. We will survive. 🧐

    It is easy enough to be pleasant
    When life flows by like a song ;
    But the man worth while
    Is one who will smile
    When everything goes dead wrong ;
    For the test of the heart is trouble,
    And it always comes with years,
    And the smile that is worth
    The praises of earth,
    Is the smile that shines through tears.
    It is easy enough to be prudent
    When nothing tempts you to stray,
    When without or within
    No voice of sin
    Are luring your soul away.
    But it's only a negative virtue
    Until it is tried by fire ;
    And the life that is worth
    The honor on earth,
    Is the one that resists the desire.

    And the clouds that outburst
    The mountains of snow
    And the river that flows
    There is a long road to walk
    Or a short road of destiny
    Thing come things go
    Can stop nothing can block nothing
    The rainbow of color's
    And the sky of clouds
    The mountains that have risen
    And the ground which are clueless
    Green and red , violet or blue
    See you then see you then
    Have courage of trying
    With the hope of flying
