[QUOTE="cmezner, post: 8097476, member: 87809"][USER=84744]@Severus Alexander[/USER] I can only say as [USER=80952]@ambr0zie[/USER] that I cannot "like" your OP, but as I was reading it I remembered a poem by Mario Benedetti: Don't give up, you still have time to reach up and start anew, Accept your shadows, Bury your fears, Free your burdens, Fly again. Don't give up, that's what life is Continue the journey, Follow your dreams, Unstuck time, Move the rubble, And uncover the sky. Don't give up, please don't give way, Even if the cold burns, Even if fear bites, Even if the sun sets, And the wind goes silent, There is still fire in your soul There is still life in your dreams. And a Latin poem that starts "Leuconoe, do not ask the gods - knowledge is a curse - what time they have designated for me, for you. Do not ask for Babylon's meaningful advice <....> Do not imagine the tomorrow , Seize the day Here is the Latin text: Tu ne quaesieris, scire nefas, quem mihi, quem tibi finem di dederint, Leuconoe, nec Babylonios temptaris numeros. Ut melius, quidquid erit, pati! seu pluris hiemes seu tribuit Iuppiter ultimam, quae nunc oppositis debilitat pumicibus mare Tyrrhenum: sapias, vina liques, et spatio brevi spem longam reseces. Dum loquimur, fugerit invida aetas: carpe diem quam minimum credula postero. The chance of beating the disease will continue to increase and you will continue the fight.[/QUOTE]
