Freshman Philosophy

One afternoon l lay smoking my
pipe.
AS / exhaled the smoke it was
caught in the light of sunbeam play
ing across the room through crack
in the lowered window shade.
AS the smoke first entered the beam
it was solid cloud, an even mass.
Slowly it dissolved into wreaths,
into tiny tendrils of smoke, some
drifting up, some drifting down.
Always, as the smoke climbed up
to the crack in the shade, tiny par
ticles were dropping off to sink to the
ground, to be seen no more.
But some kept climbing up until
at last they were bathed in the full
glory of that beam OF sunlight
And then, they, too, slowly settled,
and were lost.
How like the road of life that sum
beam was! And like Humanity was
the cloud of smoke!
For the Human Race is but an
ephemeral smoke cloud from the bos-
ON of its creator, drifting for only
short time, as measured in the cons
of eternity, then falling away, to be
replaced by another just like it.
AS we start on life's journey we are
equal, each human being but par
ticle in the cloud of smoke.
We separate into Our many petty
professions and trials, just as the
smoke floats into wreaths and ten
drills.
Some of us climb the sunlit road
but short time until we fall. A few
may reach the zenith of human ac-
complishments, but they, too, must
finally fall.
The end is, therefore, nothing.
Dives is as dead as Lazarus.
Then why sacrifice our happiness
of the present to achieve future great
ness which can not last?
Let us, rather, strive to be happy
today.
And true happiness can be gained
only through unselfsh service.

gian," the monthly publication of the
