Thought for the Day

[Duke of Buckingham]

Even a happy life cannot be without a measure of darkness, and the word happy would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness. It is far better take things as they come along with patience and equanimity.

Carl Jung


God has entrusted me with myself.

Epictetus

Keith Urban – Everybody Lyrics
So, here you are now, nowhere to turn
It's just the same old yesterday
You made a promise to yourself
That you were never gonna be this way
And the only thing that you've ever known is to run
So you keep on driving faster into the sun

But everybody needs somebody sometimes
Yeah, everybody needs somebody sometimes

You don't have to find your own way out
You've got a voice; let it be heard
Just when it feels you're on a dead-end road
There's always somewhere left to turn
So don't give up now
You're so close to a brand new day
Yes, you are
And if you just can bare to be alone, then I'll stay

'Cause everybody needs somebody sometimes
Yeah, everybody needs somebody sometimes

Well, maybe I've been too caught up
To see what you've been going through
All that I can say is that I'm here now

And everybody needs somebody sometimes
You know they do
Everybody needs somebody sometimes
Everybody needs somebody sometimes
Everybody needs somebody sometimes
Everybody needs somebody sometimes

We are meant to rely on our fellow human beings from the day we are born. No baby can take care of itself. Although we are much more self-reliant as adults we still have to rely on others.

[Duke of Buckingham]

It is not the possession of truth, but the success which attends the seeking after it, that enriches the seeker and brings happiness to him.

Max Planck

[Duke of Buckingham]

The supreme irony of life is that hardly anyone gets out of it alive.

Robert A. Heinlein

[Duke of Buckingham]

Living is easy with eyes closed
Misunderstanding all you see
It's getting hard to be someone
But it all works out
It doesn't matter much to me.

...

Always, no sometimes, think it's me
But you know I know when it's a dream
I think I know I mean a yes
But it's all wrong
That is I think I disagree

“But if you tame me, then we shall need each other.
To me, you will be unique in all the world.
To you, I shall be unique in all the world.”

― Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, The Little Prince

“Only he who has seen better days and lives to see better days again knows their full value”

Mark Twain

Only hearts can build a home.

Someone Like Me

[Duke of Buckingham]

We think, dream, feel, love. Life is short. We need to be happy.
