my wageI bargained with life for a penny and life would pay no more, however I begged at evening when I counted my scanty store.
For life is just an employer, it pays you what you ask and once you have set the wage, then you must bear the task. I worked for a menials hire, only to learn dismayed, that any wage I had asked of life, life would have paid! "I believe that life is inherently unfair, truth is relative, and people are, ultimately, alone."
Sadly, Americans live by the Golden Rule.

red balloonI always wanted a red balloon, they only cost a dime, but Ma said they were risky, they broke too quickly and besides she didn't have time and even if she did, she didn't think they were worth a dime.
We lived on a farm and I only went to one circus and a fair, and all the balloons I ever saw, were there. There were blue ones and green ones, but the ones I liked the best were red, and I don't know why she couldn't have said that maybe I could have one, but she never did. Now I suppose you can buy them anywheres, and I'm sure they still sell red ones at circuses and fairs. I got a little money saved and I've got lots of time and I have no-one now to tell me how to spend my dime. Plenty of balloons and yet, somehow, something died inside of me, and I don't want one now. |
In life we all have an unspeakable secret, an irreversible regret, an unreachable dream and an unforgettable love.

It is dangerous to be right in matters on which the established authorities are wrong.

top 10 points to ponder;Number 10- Life is sexually transmitted.

That way when you criticize them, you are a mile away from them and .....you have their shoes.”
