Live for This

i Live for the moments
when the Stars shine
through someone’s eyes
when a person’s face beams
brighter than the Sun

i Live for the times
when Heaven sings
through people’s Laughs
and sparkles
in a Smile

i Live for the days
that try our Souls
that stretch and pull our fibers
and make us more
of who we are

i Live for This

Live for This

1963. Arthur Miller.

“… My argument with so much psychoanalysis is the preconception that suffering is a mistake or a sign of weakness, or a sign even of illness when in fact possibly the greatest truths we know have come out of people’s suffering. That the problem is not to undo suffering or to wipe it off the face of the earth, but to make it inform our lives instead of trying to cure ourselves of it constantly and avoid it- avoid anything but that lobotomized sense of what they call happiness. There’s too much of an attempt, it seems to me, to think in terms of controlling man rather than freeing him, of defining him rather than letting him go and it’s part of the whole ideology of this age which is power mad…”
