A Vision
A man should have a vision –
Something to base his life on.
For without a philosophy to fight for
There is no far horizon.
A vision is a philosophy
That one can aim straight for.
A set of ideals that
Are worth fighting for.
A vision of a better world
Is what I nurture in my head.
So that I can leave a legacy
For when I am long dead.
I have a picture of a future
Not run for selfish greed,
That protects the environment
Yet fulfils every need.
It’s a vision that is possible
For us all to achieve.
A vision in which everyone
Has the right to believe.
Opher – 19.12.2019
If one has a philosophy to base one’s life on then every action, every thought and every deed is focussed. It means that your efforts are put towards something positive. It gives your life purpose.
One knows what one is striving for and what one is striving against. Your life is no longer shallow and empty.
A man has to have a purpose.
Opher – Having and maintaining passion to pursue our purpose, holding on to deep-seated belief in our convictions, are powerful motivators and prerequisites to express our will. Whether or not opportunity exists equally for all to make manifest their dreams is a matter of debate (1% hold nearly 50% of the world’s wealth), but certainly one has to have a dream else how would we make a dream come true.
Good poem!

I still hold on to my dream and do everything I can to make it real.
