impristine, the irony is that success in this life is just that. 70 years of hard work, toil, worry, grief and a few fleeting pleasures along the way. if one isn't obsessed with physical success then one might be able to enjoy the roses along the journey of life (enjoy the journey, not the destination). then, poof, it's all gone. the skill set required to be successful in this physical life is often very different than the skill set required to excel in a spiritual eternity. relationships become the #1 priority instead of things. in fact, things aren't even on the same level. when one's life is over, the skill set that helped that person achieve temporal success is, much more than likely, a detriment to achieving success for eternity. no more treating people badly for physical, temporary benefits. all too often, this physical toil for physical success will turn out to be absolutely worthless when proper perspective is understood. at least, imho. well, not worthless. it will live as example of what not to do ;-) i'm close to a good example? nope. but i do recognize the need and do try and improve over time.

Impristine, Hunnybunny, I brought this specially to cheer you up....and posted this specially on this thread....apologies to nihil... OUT of the night that covers me, Black as the Pit from pole to pole I thank whatever gods may be For my unconquerable soul. In the fell clutch of circumstance I have not winced nor cried aloud Under the bludgeonings of chance My head is bloody, but unbowed. Beyond this place of wrath and tears Looms but the Horror of the shade, And yet the menace of the years Finds, and shall find, me unafraid. It matters not how strait the gate, How charged with punishments the scroll, I am the master of my fate: I am the captain of my soul. Untermeyer, Louis, ed. 1920. Modern British Poetry
