“Life is an opportunity, benefit from it. 
Life is beauty, admire it.
Life is a dream, realize it. 
Life is a challenge, meet it. 
Life is a duty, complete it. 
Life is a game, play it.
Life is a promise, fulfill it. 
Life is sorrow, overcome it. 
Life is a song, sing it.
Life is a struggle, accept it. 
Life is a tragedy, confront it. 
Life is an adventure, dare it. 
Life is luck, make it.
Life is life, fight for it.”

Mothers

If we are busy ourselves, we are detached.
If we offer advice, we are controlling.
If we refrain, we are disinterested.
If we visit often, we are pests.
If we don't, we are thought uncaring.
If we hide our needs, we are martyrs.
If we reveal our needs, we are demanding.
If we provide for our old age, we are selfish.
If we don't provide, we are burdens.
If we don't pitch in, they question our competency.
If we do pitch in, we question their competency.
If all of this is true, we might as well do as we wish, and do it
outrageously.
