My philosophical friend
visited me this morning.
(I hope I have introduced him to you earlier)
"What's the quote for the day?",
I queried.
"The first-birthday is to be celebrated grand
for one doesn't know
which is going to be the last",
he said.
"Oh! Anything else?"
"You seem not to like it.
I have another one",
he smiled.
"mm... tell"
"A death has too many reasons
but no one knows
the right one"
I could not resist smiling this time.

No one knows the right one! Interesting dialogue. :)
It seems even martyrs ,who die for a noble cause, doubt their action.I've been reading Sara Teasdale's poetry since two days.Let me share a poem by her:
"There will come soft rains and the smell of the ground,
And swallows circling with their shimmering sound;
And frogs in the pool singing at night,
And wild plum trees in tremulous white;
Robins will wear their feathery fire,
Whistling their whims on a low fence-wire;
And not one will know of the war, not one
Will care at last when it is done.
Not one would mind, neither bird nor tree,
If mankind perished utterly;
And Spring herself when she woke at dawn
Would scarcely know that we were gone."
— Sara Teasdale
Our belief-system gives us the reason to die for.
Once again really interesting verses.Write more often !
Good to read after a long time :-)
