Life--a view

We have no choice of where we're born or who our parents are or whether we're rich or poor. What we do have is some choice over what we make of our lives once we're here.

We choose our joys and sorrows long before we experience them. Life is a dream for the wise, a game for the fool, comedy for the rich, tragedy for the poor.

We don't get to choose how we're going to die, or when. We can decide how we're going to live now. We live in deeds, not years: In thoughts not breaths; in feelings, not in figures.

We don't accomplish anything in this world alone... and whatever happens is the result of the whole tapestry of one's life and all the weavings of individual threads from one to another that creates something.
