But the causer doesn't know or care while inflicting such condemning pain - pity. Another philosophical truth from your philosophical pen - I shall print them all out one day and wallpaper at least one room ... CayCay

In the first case, if the causer does intentionally cause pain then he cannot claim ignorance of his action! In the second, it is possible though that he may not care about his action but this doesn't render him innocent thus he is condemned! Thank You dearest CayCay for your delightful visit and comment! BTW please chose a ...large room, for God willing, more Monoku are coming! Haha!

Paradise of flowers and a library ... in the company of two never failing friends ... how happy a man you must be ... choosing the pen for divinity ... nice ... what you have said in this haiku is absolutely true ...

Seneca has said that " If one has a library and a garden he has everything" Being a philosopher myself I have chosen to do it before I knew he had said that so I think I am on the right path! Now that you approve of it, I am absolutely certain I am on the right path! Thank you my friend, Probir!

My dearest friend, Jan, I am so happy you like my pictures. I post every day 4-5 pictures. If you were in FB you could see them, especially in winter it will cheer you up! Yes, I love my flowers and they love me so my terrace has become my paradise. I have also a small library up where I sit down and write. Thank you so much!

wise words indeed Demetrios - there is a saying an old lady I looked after used to say ... three things never come back, the spoken word (written word also applies nowadays) the sped arrow and the neglected opportunity.:-) hugs Jan xx

Thank you for your generous words dearest, Jan! We also have a similar saying in Greece! I think the wisdom of the ages has taught us a lot and will keep teaching us more! Hugs !
