Sometimes
Sometimes I feel tired...
Sometimes I don't want to live anymore...
How does one respond to that?

I respond with a poem by Robert Service. It is one of my favourites, and one I have thought of many times when life gets tough.
The Quitter
When you're lost in the Wild, and you're scared as a child,
And Death looks you bang in the eye,
And you're sore as a boil, it's according to Hoyle
To cock your revolver and . . . die.
But the Code of a Man says: "Fight all you can,"
And self-dissolution is barred.
In hunger and woe, oh, it's easy to blow . . .
It's the hell-served-for-breakfast that's hard.
"You're sick of the game!" Well, now, that's a shame.
You're young and you're brave and you're bright.
"You've had a raw deal!" I know -- but don't squeal,
Buck up, do your damnedest, and fight.
It's the plugging away that will win you the day,
So don't be a piker, old pard!
Just draw on your grit; it's so easy to quit:
It's the keeping-your-chin-up that's hard.
It's easy to cry that you're beaten -- and die;
It's easy to crawfish and crawl;
But to fight and to fight when hope's out of sight --
Why, that's the best game of them all!
And though you come out of each gruelling bout,
All broken and beaten and scarred,
Just have one more try -- it's dead easy to die,
It's the keeping-on-living that's hard.
Hi Daniel,
"...Just have one more try -- it's dead easy to die,
It's the keeping-on-living that's hard."
I think that is so true. But in a situation when one is suffering so much, is it wise to fight on to keep on living? That, I am not sure. Seeing how my aunt is a fighter amazes me...but I doubt I have as much courage as her if it happens to me. I would rather go to heaven.
What do you think?
.......relax.
