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!

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!
