The prime goal is to alleviate suffering, and not to prolong life. And if your treatment does not alleviate suffering, but only prolongs life, that treatment should be stopped.

A Moment Of Transition

In all lives
where great character
is attained...
comes a moment
requiring
exceptional transition.

Sometimes
historically to achieve
something revolutionary...
profoundly better
something imminently bad
must transpire first.

Not to recognize
the necessity
effort required...
to alleviate
inhuman pain
is an inherent evil.

Want You

It's just the way I want you baby
Oh so bad
It's just the feeling that comes over me

I had a crush on you
Painstakingly I
Would conceal the truth
You probably always knew
But I was timid like a child
Inhibited and way too shy
I'd glance but then avert my eyes
All twisted up in my desire
But I am not that girl today
Ain't a lot of time for games
I've waited and I've waited now
It's time for me to tell you
'Bout the way

It's just they way I want you baby
Oh so bad

Hey Dude

All I have is all I need
Enough for love but not for greed yeah
I was younger once this guy came to me
Told me about all the honey out there
He saie honey gold jewels money women
Wine cars that shine
I dont know what he was talking about
But I think I had an idea
He said smell the rose, sweet sweet rose,
Catch the sun find where it grows,
Smell the rose, the sweet sweet rose
That grows on castle walls in heaven
In heaven yeah
Well if it feels like summer
Youre catching the sun,
And Im catching the moment you fall
If it tastes like honey
Dont swallow it all
Dont wait for the moment to come -
And catch the sun

Mediate

(a farriss)
(additional keyboard sounds - warwick bone)
Hallucinate
Dessegregate
Mediate
Alleviate
Try not to hate
Love your mate
Dont suffocate on your own hate
Designate your love as fate
A one world state
As human freight
The number eight
A white black state
A gentle trait
The broken crate
A heavy weight
Or just too late
Like pretty kate has sex ornate
Now devastate

An Alliterative Amorous Answer

Alliterative Love Letter

Adored and angelic Amelia. Accept an ardent and artless amourist’s affections, alleviate an anguished admirer’s alarms, and answer an amorous applicant’s avowed ardour. Ah, Amelia! all appears an awful aspect! Ambition, avarice and arrogance, alas are attractive allurements, and abase an ardent attachement. Appease an aching and affectionate adorer’s alarms, and anon acknowledge affianced Albert’s alliance as agreeable and acceptable.

Anxiously awaiting an affectionate and affirmative answer, accept an ardent admirer’s aching adieu. Always angelic and admirable Amelia’s admiring and affectionate amourist, Albert
Wit and Wisdom 1826

An Alliterative Answer

Artless Amelia Acme’s answer adamantly admonishing artful Albert Acne’s announced amorous ambitions, and assertive advances, actively advocates appropriate alternatives. Also, attesting abhorrent Albert’s attempted abduction, Amelia asks an adequate aureate award. Advance “ amical ” arrangements are altogether abjured.

Adieu Albert!

To rejoice in another's prosperity is to give content to your lot; to mitigate another's grief is to alleviate or dispel your own.
