PROMPT #426
Here is a quote from Ayn Rand’s lesser-known novel- We the Living.
“It’s a curse, you know, to be able to look higher than you’re allowed to reach.”
It could have been a curse
Had I not realised that
watching others reach
where I couldn’t or, for that matter
not allowed to reach
It’s just as much fun and enjoyable
What’s more
Whining and cursing wouldn’t have got me anywhere, so
Finding joy in the happiness of others
sometimes paves a path for oneself as well—
Also, it offers inspiration,
when nothing else works,
It is best to acknowledge and accept our limitations.
You can still make small, modest efforts.
Who knows, you may succeed.
Isn’t?
Well, it worked for me, and
That’s enough for me.
