Why Then

To my destiny, I once complained For The unbearable weight my soul was Condemned to carry, “Why then have you volunteered to carry it?” Answered she, with surprise! © Demetrios Trifiatis 17 FEBRUARY 2015

I will accept the title of a philosopher in its Pythagorean meaning: Friend of wisdom! However, being a friend of wisdom doesn't necessarily mean that wisdom considers me a friend of hers, dear Rhonda! Ha-ha! Thank you so much for enjoying my little epigrams! You are so gracious!

Not so " common" dear ,Nad! To ponder is one thing to try to give an anwear is another! To describe something you see is much easier than to conceive the unseen. Thank you!
