That something as real and tender as love can be nurtured during this time should tell us all something; few of us have to endure the torture or claw out our existence when our very own families have been robbed of us. Yet, we still hate with such frivolity. We still judge with complacency, and we still live a life of ungratefulness.<br />If anything, I hope to really learn about how to live from the experiences of those such as Edward and Mally. To live a lovely life of hope apart from the ugliness that is too easily succumbed to.Karennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12189014.post-59708070784873119292008-06-24T17:22:00.000-04:002008-06-24T17:22:00.000-04:00this is in reference to what 'theory of me' wrote,...this is in reference to what 'theory of me' wrote, first ly i must say that it is onlt thanks to the ash piles of history that we exalted beings who consider ourselves superior to say...insects for example are given material to learn our lessons of life from, and sometimes fail even at that.<BR/>secondly what tagore meant you very enlightened being of the world is not that an insect feels with equal intensity as a human being (a point i wont even bother going into with you....) but he presents to you a metaphor speaking of how sometimes entire livetimes can be worthless, in the case of some of us, and yet even a moment of love beauty happiness and greatness can be the crowning moment of some lives. that realisation IS WHAT MAKES US HUMAN....oh and by the way some people do believe that moments people souls and LOVE lasts forever, its called the VEDANTA.......look it up....thank you!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12189014.post-70429674782879577982007-03-20T15:01:00.000-04:002007-03-20T15:01:00.000-04:00Just discovered your superb blog.

The reason we can enjoy a moment so intensely is because we know it's going to end but our imaginations are so great we can almost fool ourselves into believing it can last forever. Someone who actually convinces himself of this has reached insanity.<BR/><BR/>Pretty typical of one destined for the ash pile of history like Tagore to suggest people be more like insects than strive to be worthy of the name "human".theory_of_mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04330560294467684481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12189014.post-55817590173838147612007-03-18T07:43:00.000-04:002007-03-18T07:43:00.000-04:00You've done it again David.
