Absolute Proposition

Mother
is
not
enough

Love
is
not
lacking.

The Lord's day morning, father is very sick and I miss  nursing mother even more.

The Sun Rising

        Busy old fool, unruly sun,
              Why dost thou thus,
Through windows, and through curtains call on us?
Must to thy motions lovers' seasons run?
              Saucy pedantic wretch, go chide
              Late school boys and sour prentices,
        Go tell court huntsmen that the king will ride,
        Call country ants to harvest offices,
Love, all alike, no season knows nor clime,
Nor hours, days, months, which are the rags of time.

              Thy beams, so reverend and strong
              Why shouldst thou think?
I could eclipse and cloud them with a wink,
But that I would not lose her sight so long;
              If her eyes have not blinded thine,
              Look, and tomorrow late, tell me,
        Whether both th' Indias of spice and mine
        Be where thou leftst them, or lie here with me.
Ask for those kings whom thou saw'st yesterday,
And thou shalt hear, All here in one bed lay.

              She's all states, and all princes, I,
              Nothing else is.
Princes do but play us; compared to this,
All honor's mimic, all wealth alchemy.
              Thou, sun, art half as happy as we,
              In that the world's contracted thus.
        Thine age asks ease, and since thy duties be
        To warm the world, that's done in warming us.
Shine here to us, and thou art everywhere;
This bed thy center is, these walls, thy sphere.

Anger against evil increases the power of evil. It is love that uproots evil. Of course, the pruning of evil is also important. You should love it if you can. Because only actions that come from love can turn evil into good. Still, there are people and situations that do not change. Even so, let's not be disappointed. Knowing the reason is a meaning in life.
