A Quote for the Day

Only those who hate life can ever think of ending it, no matter what the rationalizations maybe.

Perhaps the greatest pain in love is losing the person loved to death or to the memory of that love. People we love may die or their love for us dies. Either way this imparts a sort of death that wounds the heart that loves. The wounds can bleed and fester through life. Only a love that loves without expecting to be loved in return can heal its own wounds. Selfless love survives loss because it heals itself. The reason it exists is only to love, nothing more, and death has no power over it.

All things pass away for time rules on this earth. All the wicked too will pass away, and all their works, consumed in the limits of mortality. And nothing stays but the good ones among us and the good things we do written in the book of eternity. So there is nothing for those who are good to fear or worry for.

Sometimes people so feared death they never realized they have given up living. [A quote from " Second Chances ," in the blog At the End of the Day ]

Each time we look at life as the only thing that is real, we tend to treat life as a means to satisfy all our senses because tomorrow may never come. [A quote from my new book, Got 2 Go! My Call Just Came In (2011)]

Every fact can be reinterpreted. Every ending can be changed. Books and stories, yes! Not death.

The burden of honesty and responsibility is extremely heavy, especially to those who followed the opposite path. At times, even death pales in comparison. But those who braved the pain follow the right path shines forth as people of great courage. (Photo courtesy of Jim Sabo Fine Arts )
