IN THE NAME OF THE GAME...

Do not try to rationalize,
'cuz there is no simplistic
explanation to loving that game.

Dangerous game,
Sheer addiction.

For instant gratification
Self-gratification
Perfectionist solution
Narcissistic admiration.

Sheer madness!

In the end, it was not a game.
No high stakes at first,
but only the excitement of the moment,
the sheer passion...

Like any fleeting pleasures,
Eating the forbidden fruit, and
Indulging in unrestrained passions,
make a pariah of the transgressor who
subsequently bears a lasting stigma.

Having deceived
those we love, admire or hold in high esteem
sadly supersedes the heat of the moment
and leaves a lasting bitter aftertaste.

In the end, it was no game at all, but
sheer pain and raw contrition!...

Temporary insanity,
Maldito juego
That has taken logic and self-restraint away;
Created lapse of judgment
Self-deceit, deceit, and loss of esteem
Awful game!
Where the notion of "good and bad" becomes blurred.
Awfully sorry...

So moving words Sandra Sep 16, 2003

I could only guess as to what prompted these lines of anguish. Since they are only guesses, I shall not articulate them. I will instead say that the lines are quite moving.
Salut,
Raghavan

The point being....? Sep 16, 2003

Is there a reason for posting this, even in the off-topic section? Am I the only one who doesn't get it?

"Tree of life" (from recycled drum) Sep 16, 2003




Like our artists who take painstaking care at recycling drum (discarded and worn out) and transform it into masterpieces, may we also learn to patch up bits and pieces of our lives.


Michele, Willmatter

Michele, Willmatter, and Martine, do not try to understand. I don't understand it myself...

Not everything in life is easy to understand. Our own actions are sometimes illogical. Some people and their forgiving hearts, however, will understand even the most outrageous things.

C'est la vie !

Sandra

P.S. Naramsihan: Do not guess, because in such matters, guesses will often prove to be wrong.

Claudia, I meant to ask about any trick that I don't know yet. I had no problems before in posting images, but this one is not visible.

Thanks anyway.

I can't understand Michele's comment.
Sandra felt like posting some verses and an image.
They don't go against etiquette.
You can read them or skip them, like them or dislike them, comment them or ignore them.

What kind of "reason" do we have to achieve in order tu publish an off-topic thread?
And who is to judge that?
