and post notes and photos about your poem like Silent One.
Written for Sotto Poet's contest, Stocism as a way of life.
Stoicism teaches us to focus on the things we can control—our thoughts, emotions, and actions—while accepting the things we cannot, such as the actions of others or the natural course of events going on in the world around us.
I am not a follower of Stoicism, but I feel self control is very important. It is not easy to achieve, especially with the world we live in and bias media and TV shows. People will always believe what they feel is right, so the important thing for an individual is to have good morals and principles and adopt an open mind... After all hate does not eradicate hate...
Lets hope for a peaceful world where everyone can exist without any prejudice or discrimination.
On a seperate note.. Do you ever wonder if this will be your last poem?
