      Hedonism Is Overrated – To Make The Best Of Life There Must Be Pain, Says This Yale Professor

      The simplest theory of human nature is hedonism– – we pursue pleasure and comfort. Suffering and pain are, by their very nature, to be avoided. The spirit of this view is nicely captured in The Epic of Gilgamesh: “Let your belly be full, enjoy yourse

      Chapter One

      AN ANTHOLOGY ABOUT LIFE,

      SOLITUDE, AND THE WRITER

      I

      ABOUT LIFE

      When There’s A Fight

      When there’s a fight

      Some take delight

      Right at the sight

      But it’s not right

      To watch with fright

      Some others might

      When there’s a fight

      30748.png

      How To Take Action

      What does one act upon?

      With no right tone

      And light’s all gone

      Without a home

      What does one act upon?

      30750.png

      Their Hurrah

      Blood was on all

      How they did fall

      Because their call

      Was far too small

      They were too tall

      For their own stall

      They had some gall

      With their hurrah

      30752.png

      Why Think As You?

      Why think as you

      For thoughts not true

      Why be confused

      Creating blues

      And take our hues

      This will not do

      Else we will stew

      30755.png

      Don’t Cast A Light

      Don’t cast a light

      That is not right

      Or you will plight

      And make a sight

      Both day and night

      30757.png

      It Does Make A Difference

      It does make a difference

      That one has a reference

      That leads to a preference

      Where there’s a deliverance

      Instead of a severance

      30760.png

      Live Each Day For Itself

      Live each day for itself

      Leave what’s left upon the shelf

      Then you’ll be as an elf

      Enjoying all that you have

      Thankful life is no grave

      30762.png

      Truth In The Soul

      Down deep in the soul

      Is a truth one can’t hold

      But a truth that makes bold

      And so often even molds

      And this truth will not fold

      30764.png

      Can One Deny Truth Known?

      Can one deny the truth one knows?

      Can one live without some show?

      When deep within, there’s a glow

      That keeps one on a right flow

      And makes one’s life go and go

      Can one deny the truth one knows?

      30766.png

      Truth Revealed

      Love from one means much

      It’s so precious with a touch

      One can find there’s a hush

      Which is followed by a rush

      Is not truth revealed as such?

      30769.png

      Sitting There

      Sitting there

      Wondering where

      One might care

      Without fear

      Is it far?

      Or right here

      Where life’s clear?

      30771.png

      Let Truth Abide

      Let truth abide

      And be your guide

      From your inside

      Truth will not chide

      If you won’t bide

      30775.png

      Patterns Questioned

      Established patterns can be questioned

      When there is some hesitation

      Some surely need an oblation

      When they speak for all creation

      They surely need some citation

      30773.png

      Need For Someone

      When out of joint and can’t get right

      And have no one to hold you tight

      Plus life is filled with

      Enjoying the preview?
