    “If you choose philosophy, be prepared from the beginning that many people will ridicule you, will mock you, and will say ‘suddenly he returns to us as a philosopher’ and ‘where does that frown on us come from?’. Don’t frown: but hold on to those things that seem best to you, as you are stationed on this post by God. And remember that if you are persistent in these things, then the people that ridiculed you earlier will admire you later. But if you give in to them, you will receive twice the ridicule.” Epictetus

      What ever your beliefs stand for there's virtue on honor your creator at the end you will be a much more grateful person. Those words are really appreciated specially when you don't receive the support of your more near friends and more importantly of your dear family. Do good everyday and stay persistent is the key!

    The last battle that we fight in our lives is irrelevancy in old age. It’s worse than having nothing on your slate but waiting for the grave.
    In juxtaposition to what I just said is our four-generational household, where everyone, from five to ninety, is intertwined in a thriving weaving of love, caring and delight.

    The great irony of "The Road Not Taken" is that Frost never had any intention of its meaning being more than a lighthearted jab at a friend's indecisiveness. It's also been speculated that the poem contributed to his friend's untimely death.

    The “Sad Poems For Sorrowful Times” collection is sadly beautiful,
    From the weight of its words, my heart is full.
    Dwelling in this mood can lead to deep melancholy,
    I kid you not, that’s no folly.
    Dark. Depressing. Dreary. Haunting. Mournful.

    In the semi-dark she sits before the computer screen,
    coffee within reach and just shy of midnight.
    Neon peeks between the gaps in the venation blind
    and paints a luminous magic on the wall.
    A black cat's curled at one end of the sofa and,
    content with the bliss that comfort affords,
    the little animal purrs as it sleeps.
    The gentle tap of a keyboard cocks the feline's ear.
    Outside a light drizzle begins to fall;
    it turns the sidewalk into a mirror
    and speeds the pace of all upon it.
    In the distance a siren wails as it fades.
    In this simplicity there exists a beauty,
    mediocre to some; magnificent to others.
    Regardless the value, which is measured by the clock's tick,
    that beauty is beyond price; like love and the esoteric.

    The Elephant Rope (Belief)
    A gentleman was walking through an elephant camp, and he spotted that the elephants weren’t being kept in cages or held by the use of chains.
    All that was holding them back from escaping the camp, was a small piece of rope tied to one of their legs.
    As the man gazed upon the elephants, he was completely confused as to why the elephants didn’t just use their strength to break the rope and escape the camp. They could easily have done so, but instead, they didn’t try to at all.
    Curious and wanting to know the answer, he asked a trainer nearby why the elephants were just standing there and never tried to escape.
    The trainer replied:
    “when they are very young and much smaller we use the same size rope to tie them and, at that age, it’s enough to hold them. As they grow up, they are conditioned to believe they cannot break away. They believe the rope can still hold them, so they never try to break free.”

    Quite a welcome posting. Poetry is really the only avenue we have left it seems to fight the overbearance of the world we are living in these days.
    Just one suggestion: I think the poem Bereft by Robert Frost would be much more fitting than your selection. Frost had such a grand collection of poems it would do it justice to share some of the others from time to time.

    Prayers of purpose.
    When you are old and grey.
    Young and fell of sleep.
    And nodding by the sleep.
    Taking down old age.
    And slowly nodding to sleep.
    And dreaming of an old age.
    Your eyes once dream of.
    Written by prayers of purpose.
