Come let us meet together

Come, Let us meet together and speak passionately of things that stir our hearts.

For I am a man of many false conclusions and I seek the wise counsel of Good friends on my quest to correct these fallacies.

Not that we may glory in our triumph of greater wisdom, nay we shall never reach the pinnacle for which we strive

But it is the journey that makes a man.

For a man may stumble, lose his way, or grow weary but it is he who continues that truly lives.

Too many of my generation have laid down in the face of hardship. Too many have fallen without the will to get up again. Too many have given themselves to a life of mediocrity, which is no life at all.

Not that we must climb the Everests, win the championships, brave the arctic winters, or break the banks of this life to stave off mediocrity. No. To be a true friend, to love our wives, to have compassion on those less fortunate than us, to raise our children well, to help those in need, and stand firmly and with a strong voice against injustice these are things that make men great.

Man cannot do these things without passion.

So come, let us meet together and speak passionately of things that stir our hearts. For I do not fear the likes of death and the loss of fortunes, but I pray against the loss of hope, heart, and passion.
