Premium Member Stoicism as Way of Life

Purposeful thought leaders, empowering intellect they reign, 
In disposition phlegmatic, indifferent to pleasure or pain,
Rejecting emotions vain, impassive within taciturn domain,
Questing for mindful contentment, virtues of reason ordain.

Missives tolling of rectitude, emanate from heart and mind,
Guiding sanctity of awareness, wisdom virtuous aligned,
Maximizing positive thoughts, amplifying tendencies kind,
Of knowledge and understanding, spirits tranquil designed.

Freeing from distress, achieving balance in purity sublime,
Reverberating in noble song of life, echoing through time,
Strumming happiness, where refrain of reason is prime,
Where goodwill of speech, and actions benevolent rhyme.

Enlightened people find harmony in realms of self-control
Overcoming disturbances that in silhouettes of past troll,
Vying aspirations of tomorrow, enamored in sanctity of soul,
Consciously shedding negativity, passions imprudent extol.

Volatility of perturbed life calms, embracing thoughts divine,
As sapient ways of erudite mind, on arc of cognition shine,
Triumphing over negative vibes as dissonant distractions decline
When goals of reason and acts of virtue inextricably entwine.

"A gentle pat and soft voice comforts even the frighten beast." Quote_ by poet

How many children grow up thinking that abuse is the norm,
never complaining of what goes on in their home.
Like a 3-year-old boy being tossed and kicked repeatedly 
down a hallway of their building.  The abuse was caught 
on a doorbell camera. Her excuse was he, “wasn’t listening.”
 
blessed be the flower
charms those with its grace and scent
moral nourishment

I was brought up extremely old fashioned. You committed a sin,
you are accountable. I believe God lives within me.
With his hand on mine and wisdom He leads me in the right path.

learn to love yourself
forgiveness is thy freedom
you savor honey

I believe in loving people. I try very hard to respect those around.
Everyone has their boundaries what they have, what they choose,
and what they wish to do. They have their own believes,
don't aim to convert them, accept them for whom they are.

golden wheat long shaft
unspoiled nurturing kernel
those who hunger strength

Premium Member Traditions, Our Way of Life: Counts

Love contests in quantities, like numbers,
game of chance for romance by the numbers,

You and you, pick one or two, left first choose,
then right follows through ... awake the numbers,

if I was you, don't let romance wait too,
go ahead, awaken the dead ... numbers,

At last, the dead have passed, now let's see who?
Romance counts true ... encounter the numbers,

You have the Lucky Two, which means you lose,
You've one, as you've begun ... 'twas the numbers,

So stop your frets, but guess what's next; Round Two,
Where you and you will not choose the numbers,

But I will choose which one of you will step ...
aside. Let the other get the numbers,

with the roll of a dice, the one who stepped
aside, from counted steps of dice numbers,

--HOLD, break from sequence, noted facial change,
bears a consequence, shortchange the numbers,

FOCUS, understand passion, hence, begin
again, --dice rolled--, start steps to those numbers,

Distance makes the difference, the farther
you are from me, the better ... you, numbers,

Your turn, the dice have been rolled, go, distant
yourself. The dice will roll seven numbers,

This was the first, therefore, six more to go.
The Desert Tribesman's way's ... the numbers,

We live by this code of honor. Methods,
in and of itself, seems nothing ... numbers

seems nothing. The deserts way, the Desert
People ... Ancestral ties are... the numbers.

Way of Life

Of a souls none are whole, all have holes.
Memories untold, lives unheard, Pains undiscovered, and sorrowful tolls.
Hidden and veiled, they persevere their closed hearts
We close the lid, fill it up each day  until the glass cracks and our souls leak out.
Patched up fast, and we hide the cracks till we break again.
Endless cycle, permanently broken, and temporarily repaired.
Examples for history that no one learns.
Entrusted to the special, only to be betrayed and judged .
Maybe why no one trusts anymore.
The world fears each other's judgement.
Brother turns on brother, friend on friend.
Why must we judge what we don't understand?
We tear ourselves and everyone else around use apart.
To hate is to love, to love is to hate.
One cannot exist without the other.
A way of life we have created with fear of what we don't know.

Diversity - Our Way of Life

We are born into the world of Diversity
A school every mortal must pass through; it is the “Way of Life” University
To graduate with a noble degree from this institution
One cannot afford to live a life of isolation

The Creator made them in his image different shades of black and white
Truly they are all a wonder to behold and a sheer delight
In hills, valleys, forests, islands and deserts can they be found
From wherever they are, up above they see the same sea of cloud

Christianity, Islam, Buddhism and Paganism to mention a few
Some of man’s attempt to know the creator, to know what is true
These bring some form of order into our world
They are like several streams of water flowing into the same sea; diverse paths to the same god

Royalty, Technocrats, Aristocrats and Bourgeois
Working Class, Artisans, Unlearned and Paupers
These are classes of people in mankind’s social hierarchy
They must all strive to coexist in harmony; lest there be great anarchy

In our dressing, dance, norms and inventions we see the differences
As we interact with other cultures, we observe the variances
Over time, we tend to develop feelings of indifference, superiority or inferiority
In all of this diversity, we all breathe the same air; this binds us in unity


The Way of Life

So many people around the world
living a life of their own
there are good doers and then there are evil doers
there are rich and then there are poor


But what vexes me most is the way of life
Rich, content with all the possession
but still treating wealth like an obsession
Poor, no wealth at their disposal
but still living life like there's no control

What is freedom after all?
To the child of the poor, did sorrow ever befall?
Is there happiness at all?
To the child of the rich, no toy ever contents, I hear!

With a smile on his face, the poor farmer ploughs the land
With a frown on his face, the rich man picks a briefcase in his hand
With a joy in his heart, the poor farmer serves the bread
With a grief in his heart, the rich man sleeps alone in bed

But what vexes me most is the way of life
Rich, content with all the possession
but still treating wealth like an obsession
Poor, no wealth at their disposal
but still living life like there's no control
...still living life like there's no control!

The American Way of Life

THE AMERICAN WAY OF LIFE,

IS A WORLD OF ILLUSION,

OF MATERIALISM,

AND EXCLUSION.

OUR POLITICIANS ARE SMOOTH TALKERS,

STEERING US TOWARD ULTIMATE GLOBALISM.

RECESSION, REPRESSION, AND AGGRESSION;

OUR CITIES AND TOWNS ARE CHANGING,

NEVER THE SAME AS WE REMEMBER.

LET'S FIGHT FOR A BETTER FUTURE,

AND A BETTER NOW.

WE HAVE BEEN ASLEEP A LONG TIME.

LET US NOW AWAKE,

AND CLAIM OUR STAKE.

BEAUTY IS IN THE EYE OF THE BEHOLDER.
A BEAUTIFUL FIND IS ABOVE THE SHOULDER.

AN OPEN MIND HAS INCREDIBLE VISION.
IN LIFE THAT'S ALLWAYS A WISE DECISION.

YOU TOOK ON THE WORLD, YOU HAD NO FEAR.
YOU HAD YOUR PRINCIPLES, YOU HELD THEM DEAR.

YOU WOULDN'T BUY WHAT OTHERS BOUGHT.
YOU DIDN'T CARE WHAT OTHERS THOUGHT.

YOU DIDN'T LISTEN TO WHAT GOVERNMENTS SAID. 
YOU WOULDN'T LET POLITICS INSIDE YOUR HEAD. 

YOU LIVED YOUR LIFE ALL ON YOUR OWN. 
FOR MANY FOLKS FREEDOM WILL NEVER BE KNOWN. 

IT APPEARS TO ME A MESSAGE WAS LOST. 
A LINE WAS DRAWN AND APPARENTLY CROSSED. 

THE TIME WAS PRESANT AND THEN FADED AWAY  
REFFERED TO NOW AS YESTERDAY

Way of Life

Here in these infinite droplets of rain 
One who is hiding his tears of pain
Making a fake smiling face
Does not want to participate in life's race

He wants to quit
Just decides to get out of this ****
His patience ends as he no more can handle a bit

Walking towards the dead end
Does not fear to die he pretend
He decides to give up
Tries to jump down so that he can go up

But he could not
No he could not
Scream and cries
Thinks he is such a loser that cannot even die

A man passing by
Urged him to share his feelings
As he does not have any option
Gives it a try

He throws out all
His defeats his agony and his fall
Man listening smiles
Gives a simple advice
"Move On"

He feels the breeze
Thinks of living again in peace
Gets the reason of his sorrow
He was not sharing with anyone
As he kept his mind narrow

never live alone 
never live like a clone
share your feelings , cry it loud
standing alone you cannot make a separate crowd

To be happy in life
Take over the sadness with long stride
Express the emotions which is killing from inside..

This is the only way to live life 
The only way to survive..

Giving praise.

A Way of Life

Sometimes I don't know why -- there's a feeling that I get inside
If only I could be with you--this love of mine just has to get through

I still remember yesterday....time just keeps slipping away
All these days have passed me by...just like faces in the sky

Chorus to song
In my heart still I believe. there's a way of life for you and me
All I can do is keep holding on...and keep my faith growing strong

Still I wish that you were here..that you could take away my fears
If only I could get through...the road that leads me back to you
 
Somewhere in this heart of mine...that lonely road I have left behind
This love of mine that  I feel for you...is all I have to make it through

Premium Member - Stoicism As Way of Life -

The simple recipe for a healthier life
a Stoic view unaffected by impulses or emotions
The impressions and interpretation of the world
Bury any negative thoughts
accept your responsibility for your own emotions
What you can't control,
doesn't must be worrisome
What you do today, can do tomorrow brighter

Anyone can acquire
the keys of wisdom of the Stoics
through making oneself a positive person
Convictions, attitudes and hopeless habits
a fruitful and educational process
Finding the correct focus, life is full of surprises
You yourself are the forge of your own success
The inside and the outside changes
you gives of yourself, embrace and comfort
A wisdom of life for our time where uncertainty abounds
Explore the possibilities that others may not have seen

A Way of Life

On this stone I sleep and stand holding nothing in my hands, but here I will stay forever and for always.

A and P Way of Life

Not much of a life
working at a A and P
have to start some where
