Reflections
06/20/2017

If this existence is only one chapter
In the book of life, then visualize,
The landscape that it has been,
Full of color and fragrances
That have delighted us, and yes,
Along with dark clouds and barren events
That have periodically shaped our intents.
All we can hope that, looking back,
We did the best we know how.
That we did more right than wrong,
And more good than bad.
That as we live on in the memories of others,
We bring more smiles than frowns.
If our journey is to continue on, then
Knowing that we shall be held accountable
That our acts be not out of ignorance
That our burdens be lighter and bearable.

    If we are to be held accountable, i wonder by who's standards we will be judged? Yours or mine? Which one of us was right? Says who?

    Think about it.

    Positively by our own, so far as ours don't impinge on others.
    Dissertation on this is philosophers gold mine.

    Always thankful for your comments.
