Re: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)
Love is more of an earthly thing, it’s not permanent, whereas happiness is promised to the good after death in most greeds and is eternal. One can be in love for one’s entire lifetime but then it ends, happiness is total peace of mind, freedom from all earthly needs and inflictions, and is forever, happiness is clearly the winner here therefore happiness is the bigger of the two.
I think the true test of real love for a living person is that you would give your own life so they could live, providing the situation arose of course, I’m afraid I can’t see an awful lot of people lining up for that kind of love, but there you have it like it or not. I would never have any doubt in answering that call if the situation came about with my dear wife, but then as the old Lonnie Donegan song goes “Nobody Loves Like an Irishman” I rest me case yer honour.
We finished off the last day of Ascot in style up in the local, and the icing was on the cake when the Irish trained and Australian owned horse ‘Merchant Navy’ won the big race, we all had a tenner on it @4/1.
There was music and song all round and then the dancing, old Lizzie Lynch shakes a cool leg and never makes any false moves.
