 |   Second blog -- answers to an ocean of prompts |
 "Failure is unimportant. It takes courage to make a fool of yourself." CHARLIE CHAPLIN  Sometimes it takes darkness and the sweet confinement of your aloneness to learn anything or anyone that does not bring you alive is too small for you. David Whyte        This is my supplementary blog in which I will post entries written for prompts. |
For "Blog City ~ Every Blogger's Paradise"  “Dickensian poverty tends to occur after Christmas in January. For it is then, with pockets empty, diary decimated and larder bare, that the general populace sinks into a collective pauper's hibernation until Valentine's Day.”~― Stewart Stafford Do you agree or disagree? --- What is there to agree or disagree? If you spend too much, you have to watch your finances for a while so you are not bankrupt. That’s a problem, I think, we all have with too many expensive Christmas gifts. It seems as if such a gift shows one’s affection both for the occasion and for the receiver of the gift. It need not be so. If for the occasion, how about donating to a soup kitchen, for example, and giving the people we love thoughtful gifts we make with our hands? Then, the “hibernation until Valentine’s Day” need not happen.  For: "Space Blog" Prompt: From 🌕 HuntersMoon   ’s "It's Your Move" . The author compares life and romance to a game of chess. Do you agree or disagree? Why? --- At first, I thought he’d make fun of the stuff, but he doesn’t. Instead, he’s cynical and sarcastic a bit. Who’d blame the poet for feeling this way if it’s all a game? Unfortunately, most treat life and/or romance like a game. To me, if it’s a game, it is more like some bloody football or rugby game. Then, when you go after Kings or Queens, you are more likely to get disappointed. Going for humans, however, may turn out to be more logical. Who knows, the pawn you warm up to can be a King or Queen inside. As to the game of chess, I don’t know if I agree or disagree, but chess is a game of strategy that requires precise memory. That may be why after I play a game or two, I usually suffer from headaches, while on the average, I never get headaches. That’s the reason I don’t play chess as I once did in my youth. It might just be that my already meager mental powers have fallen way below average.  |
