The Ode of Humankind

Very good!

...and so true, yes? no?

Yes, true, and well-put. It puts a slightly different spin on that element of the truth than I've heard before, or in different words, at least. I tend to think in terms of "mortifying the flesh" - but I like your emphasis on "conquest of self" - it's a poetic way of expressing this truth.

starsworth...would you consider then, that the "self" - IS - "The final frontier..."???

Think about it...

PBWY.

Here's hoping your Christmas is so memorable that it warms your heart for many years.

Self: The Final Frontier!

Merry Christmas to you as well. Take care.

WONDERFUL! Now begins the journey you never knew existed !!!

PBWY - along the way - all the way.
