I can’t afford
pride
I’m poorer
than that
I can’t afford
humility
Accomplishment
lacks
I can’t afford
vengeance
All hate
for myself
And least afford
love
Emotion
— unfelt

We're all sleepwalking into apathy.
Thanks for reading, Paul.
Well done! Read while sitting atop Little Round Top in Gettysburg! Thoroughly enjoyed! 🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
My daughter went to Gettysburg for her freshman year before transferring to Delaware.

Ooh. Nice! Love it there! Just got back home! 🏡
Wise words that I have felt. The price of these is more that what is listed. A fave
Thanks Soren, most appreciated.
Most welcome Kurt
