What Is the Use Of

What is the use of being: The most powerful king on earth The bravest known general of glory The most prominent writer of all The finest narrator to tell a story If we do not harbor love in our hearts And if we don’t, for one another, care Nothing that we would think, say or do Could, a better world, for us prepare! © Demetrios Trifiatis 29 September 2015

I can't agree more! "If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal." 7. hugs!

Thank you dear, Miraj, for your noble visit and comment. For me, at this stage of my life, wish only to pass messages to the younger generation for a better world, for how anyone could ever be really happy if his friends and family are unhappy?
