Coolaaron's challenge: Life's gift is only to be given, never to be taken
I am with you
on the dark side of the moon
where no one sees your tears,
but you shall never cry alone,
not even in that total and eternal darkness,
for I am the light
that shines up even that most hopeless
dark side of the moon.
The cure is to let go,
forget about yourself
and concentrate on anything that isn't you.
It's your responsibility to life
to love all life
and not just be alive yourself.
You are the fountain of your life
that spreads your life to others
and should not keep life just to yourself.
Old people may be boring,
but they know what life is all about
or else they would not still be living,
they would not have lived so long
if they were not familiar with the knowledge
that your life was given you to give to others,
not just to enjoy it for yourself;
for there is no more certain misery,
unhappiness, entrapment and despair
than to get stuck in bleak self-centredness,
a one way only down to hell,
while life is only in embracing it with love
and giving it away with constant care for others
as long as you live.
