How often does it happen you try, in wild anticipation, to prepare for something great, making sure everything is perfect once the time has come? Rare occasions... I love these. I love setting every flower straight, smearing "no.1's" on my face, picking outfits for hours and making sure the tea is flavoured just right. Rarity notwithstanding, I'm accustomed to doing exactly that, be the occasion a grand ball, a simple lecture or a gathering in what we can call the European version of a "stone garden". By the way I also love singing in such stone gardens.
How often do you reach for grandness beyond imagination?
I do it every day.
Giving is indeed an act 'heart-warming', no doubt. It takes more effort to forgo items valued most but even that I have done... What I never want and never will do is similar to 'giving' but unlike anything else that can be done. Giving up my position, whatever it may be like, to have someone else take the credit, and taking his or her position, accepting all the fire and blame that comes with it - effectively becoming the sacrifice, the martyr.
Actually I lied...
I'd gladly do something as great as that for my friends...
In any case, it's just one of those things that seems rather unpleasant but still makes you think: "Why not?" Why not be a lying angel of happiness. Lies can brighten the world of others. Yet again, no proper 'ego' would allow such behaviour.
