Neville said:



I was going to try and pen something humorous .. however, I understand where you are coming from sir and it aint funny, is it ...

I guess it could come under either or both satire and sonnet .. whatever the case, point made ... :)

Neutered indeed and an apt word to choose Dave - your sonnet has such a powerful message which I second wholeheartedly. - I too could never love hoodwinking ties.

what ever one may or may not think .. and regardless of preferences or persuasion .. Not one of them could legitimately argue that todays feast was neither original or otherwise quite brilliant ...

In my long life I have treated everybody equal and respect all their ways as long as respect is always to the fore. I used to work as deputy administrator in one job where my boss was a lady and all the other staff were ladies, there were never any problems or arguments between any of us.

For a long time I have been composing a poem on the disastrous follies of the patriarchal control, and maybe I’ll finish it someday.
Meanwhile, thanks for putting yourself out there

Truth is based on knowledge, and as knowledge expands so does our beliefs change, that’s why it’s always good to have an open mind, but it hurts less when you know how to duck.
Very enjoyable indeed

SureshG said:

Love is an abstraction, as you said, and as a word grossly misused. It is an emotion, and like all others, over which we have very little control.

Not Yet….Perhaps… How Then?
SureshG said:

I don’t want anyone to have to say of the departed “they are not suffering any more” for as you have so emotionally claimed “ to die with dignity” must be the end game.

Just checking to see if it was safe to come out of hiding ..

Andy Hunter said:

Dave, was attempting to comment when my phone froze so sent blank screen. All I can say is your poem reflects my own thoughts. Nicely expressed.

Goldfinch60 said:

We each have our own personal views on our own lives and we wish to go through them in a ways that we alone desire. Very good words Dave, may that dignity ALWAYS be with you.

I seriously respect your right to choose whether to adopt a particular set of religious beliefs or not ... I believe it is a fundamental right .. I was raised in a non practicing Church of England household ... my wife\'s father was a very respected hospital chaplain .. yet I have followed a Buddhist way since my late teens ...

ps .. I think you have now left everyone in the picture .. :)

There is no Limbo, don\'t ya know. A recent Pope abolished it! As if it depended on him?
Not that I believed in it in the first place anyway. I\'m not R.C. either, so what I am doing poping (Pope-ing) around?

This is happening all over the place Dave and it is such a shame, so many people just do not care for nature.
