Purpose or Pleasure — The Choice Is Yours
Two roads wind beneath the sun: one shines with gold, the other with soul.
Pleasure is a spark — it warms, then fades;
Purpose is a flame — it burns, then builds.
"He who chases butterflies may miss the harvest."
But "the one who plants with care reaps more than he sows."
Pleasure may sing sweet, but it cannot stay;
Purpose hums low, yet guides the way.
"The tree that grows slow bears the strongest fruit."
"What is easy to get is easy to forget."
So ask your heart, not just your eyes:
Do you want the thrill of now,
or the peace that never dies?
Choose not what passes, but what lasts.
The winds of joy may lift —
but purpose is your mast.
