only the sphere is perfect

one meets life’s challenges
attaining success and recognition
but not always
many others fold up in different ways
only the sphere is perfect

human failings, greed, dishonesty
amongst others ensure 
the downfall  of 
good intentions of muddled priorities 
but somehow that makes life interesting

  2. The variety of people and experiences does make the world a more interesting place.

  3. Try, try, try again one more time.
    Aren't we glad that Galileo Galilei invented the drawing compass in 1597. Only five of the 100 ones he made in 1600 are known to have survived.
