"Life has no meaning the moment you lose the illusion of being eternal."
~ Jean-Paul Satre, Existentialist Philosopher and Writer, (1905 - 1980)



Life is a Riddle, Live it!

Years ago when I was little
I thought life was such a riddle;
Years later when I was grown
I thought, the Earth I’d own;
Now that I am mature
I still think life has a lot in store!
One day when my time will come
I would still think I am young.
But for now I would like to pack
As much in this Life I can,
While it is still intact!
Laugh, love and live to my fill
Compassion, passion, dreams fulfill…
So that when I have to go
I will shine with inner glow
When my soul will take its flight
I will just pass into light...
