One cannot live one’s life
totally for others, their greed,
their discontent will never end,
yet the takers do not return
love and caring; they only know
how to receive.
One must disappear and survive!

A reblogué ceci sur PARTAGER LA MAGIE – SHARING THE MAGIC and commented:
”Personne ne peut vivre sa vie totalement (et rein que) pour les autres, leur avidité…leur mécontentement ne se terminera jamais…mais les preneurs ne retourneront pas l’amour et la bienveillance. Ils savent seulement recevoir. On doit alors disparaître et (pour) survivre!’’ – Ann Johnson Murphree
