Parecbolae Sive Excerpta E Corpore Statutorum Universitatis Oxoniensis (1729)

Question: What is life? What is life supposed to be? Answer: Life is what we make of it. And making something of it is hard-really hard. There will always be low points, as well as high ones, but it takes just as much effort to make something of the high ones as it does the low. It’s no one’s fault for anything, even though we are always looking for someone or something to blame for the bad things that may happen. We lose our best friend and we blame them. We have a death in the family and we blame God. We get into trouble and we blame someone else. We learn our lessons in the mistakes we make. Life is not perfect and neither are we, so take a walk with me through life. It won’t be easy, it won’t always be great, but it’s life…A Life of Poetry.
