Epitaph

There's no meaning in living if not giving

No crying in dying if this applying

We must realize that giving in life is important, not only for ourselves but to reach out to others as well…..that’s also part of our legacy….we want to be remembered as a kind, generous person…. Or perhaps we’ll be scorned….you make an important point in this poem…..
Thank you for sharing.

Thank you Betty. Yes the paradox in giving is that it is like a mirror where everything is backwards. What we give is really what we receive and in keeping things greedily is what is taken from us.

[Betty Hermelee]

Very clever idea with the mirror!

if we didn't give in life, we are left with nothing in the end.

So true Jacob. Some say we are left with nothing at any cost, but no, we leave what we are remembered for. Thanks so much for the review

Deep wisdom in these words and the key to the joy of living. Many forget to be generous and lose the meaning of life. In the end, those who give, never lack. Wonderful words, Soren.

I agree Soren. When we have nothing to live for. We have nothing left. Thank you my friend for sharing the amazing poetry and your thoughts.

Makes sense to me . This is a great motto to live by and die by.
