"AMOR VINCIT OMNIA"
be an epicurus...
Amor vincit omnia- "love conquers all" ( quoted from the Canterbury Tales Prologue). Life is but a roller-coaster ride filled with ups and downs, and turn arounds. Life isn't simple. For anything to really having meaning and be of value to oneself, one has to work for it. You must strain yourself, and endure hardships even when at the time the odds may be stacked against you.
As Bukowski wrote, "your life is your life don’t let it be clubbed into
dank submission. be on the watch. there are ways out. there is a
light somewhere. it may not be much light but it beats the
darkness....". Honestly, I can quote the entire poem and still have
meaning in each sentence be relevant to life choices. When life seems tough,
that's when you have to stop and think, "why am I doing what I am doing?'
Because, without love, life is empty. Whether it is love of work or love of
another, love brings happiness and hope of better future. Happiness and hope is
what endures when all else fails. "Those who endure, conquer." If you
truly want something in life, you have to work for it, build it, mold it, and
grow with it until it becomes apart of you.
For some, this may seem gibberish filled with truth. For others
that can fully grasp the modicum of reading between the lines, I applaud you.
