Houses I find are commonly haunted by the memory of the dead, men however are more often than not haunted by the memory of the living.

In living a man can only die once. In loving however, the same cannot be said.

It doesn’t take a brave man to die, death is certain, a thing promised since the first breaths were drawn, its life that is the uncertain thing, it takes a brave man to live, the courage to face the unknown.

I don’t know why some still regard the idea of a decent living wage as radical and revolutionary. It doesn’t take a socialist or communist to realize that if an employer is taking a huge chunk out of someone’s day, the least they should compensate them in a such way that makes the rest of it at least tolerable.
