he who hath nothing to live for doth not truly live
such a man awaiteth death come ravish his mortal shell
he who hath nothing to die for still wilt die in no relief
for in causelessness shalt his days wasteth to no avail
what can one hope to attain in fourscore and five years
whilst in grey mystique of Life made of dust he doth roam?
should a man findeth something to live for, he then discovers
every reason in peace to depart when Cause taketh him home
~ gen_lite
it's always sobering to remind oneself of life's greatest cause.
but...is it humanity? is it world peace? is it 'save mother nature' and endangered species? is it medical relief for every deprived nation, or a cease of famine for every parched land? is it education, economy or entertainment? is it government funding or foreign investments? is it philosophy, politics or policies?
i think the greatest cause is to know How i came into existence and for What shall i continue to exist. only then will i have Something to live for and Everything to die for, and every cause of man will take on hope, faith and love.
