Friko's World: Birthday Card

Thursday, 18 June 2009

My son sent me this birthday card.

Read it and weep at the lack of respect

some children show their aged parents.

However, revenge will be sweet!

Oh, that made me laugh out loud! He's got a sense of humor! And apparently some revenge coming his way... :) Silke

P.S. Happy Birthday!

Comments are good, I like to know what you think of my posts. I know you'll keep it civil.

Still, if you must pray for something,

if at every shrine you offer

the entrails and holy chitterlings

of a white piglet,

then ask for a healthy mind in

a healthy body,

demand a valiant heart for which

death holds no terrors,

that reckons length of life as the

least of the gifts

of nature, that’s strong to endure

every kind of sorrow, that’s anger-free, lusts for nothing,

and prefers

the sorrows and labours of

Hercules to all

Sardanapulus’ downy cushions and

women and junketings.

What I’ve shown you, you can

bestow on yourself: there’s one

path, and only one, to a tranquil

life - through virtue.

Fortune has no divinity, could we

but see it: it’s we,

we ourselves, who make her a

goddess, and set her in the heavens.

Juvenal
