Life is not a banquet or a treat my mortal friends, Neither is it a playground for ourselves to enjoy It is instead a place of strife and deprivation Where to last we need, God-given talents to employ! © Demetrios Trifiatis 01 November 2022

Wise words my friend. All true purpose and joy in life is experience as a person blossums into the bloom each was created to be. Being anything else is futile. God guide us to our revealing. Blessings my friend, Bill P.S. this has been a delight ... catching up on the poetry you've written this month, that I've missed in my hurried life. Thanks for sharing so much of yourself through your soulful poetry. Bill

Dear friend Demetrios, Numerous people find that they must endure hardship in order to grow and mature. In spite of all the sadness that exists in the world, it remains a glorious place; however, this can only be the case if we adhere to his precepts. Blessings

True is what you say, my friend, Lasaad, however, true is also that too many people suffer without learning anything about the nature of their illnesses. Blessings.

No doubt that suffering is the root of learning, however, many people are permanently sick and suffer, my dearest friend, Vijay. My heart goes out to them. God bless you!

Yes, it is what you say, my dearest friend, Tom but not to billions of people who starve and suffer. I agree with the moral percept though. Thank you so much. Have a glorious week. Blessings!
