A Life Worth Living

It is not the quantity of years that makes our life a

                                    Worth living experience  

                                                   But

                 The moral quality with which we conduct ourselves 

                                         During those years!

Quantity is not important but quality is always. Without moral quality everything of life gets ruined sooner or later. A nice vision is flashed from your great thought. Beautifully crafted. My favorite. Loved always my lovely friend,bl

So true Demetrios. Moral quality is more important than quantity of years, for without quality it is not pleasing to God. I entered a contest recently Demetrios about Love and passion I felt uncomfortable with. I showed my wife before posting and asked her if she thought it to be too passionate. She said to post. I still felt that I shouldn't post it but she convinced me to post. Reading this Demetrios makes me feel like It wasn't quality. Thank you for sharing my friend. Blessings your way.

I felt your write speaking to me. God sends us messages through brothers like you. I will withdrawl from the contest the road to salvation is narrow and the quality should be shown not shamed.

My dearest friend, Michael, do not worry you wrote something like this for the Good Lord know your intentions. However, whenever we write something, we should ask ourselves this: " Am I ready to stand up and fight to defend my writing? Is it in harmony with my character? Will my writing improve me and others?" If the answer to any of these questions is NO, then we do not do it, unless we do not care and our only concern is to win. Thank you for your honesty and I am sorry if my poem, somehow, made you feel you have not done the right thing. Having accepted this though shows the purity of your heart. Thank you!
