Tell me not in mournful numbers,
“Life is but an empty dream!”
For the soul is dead that slumbers,
And things are not what they seem.
Psalm of Life. Henry Wadsworth Longfellow.
The way we pass a lifetime is to us but as if we were asleep and we do not remember all that happens but the happy moments. When we are dead then we see what we have done in a different way.
⁂
Don’t say life is only an empty dream. If our souls stop living and go to sleep it cannot be so for we would die. The last thing we are to attain to I think is the grave.
⁂
Your the same as dead when your asleep and things that are making you pleasant now will one day make you sorry.
