Loss and Maintaining Our Humanity

“Legend has it that in the ancient world, a poetry contest was held each year.  The third-place winner received a rose made out of silver.  The second-place winner received a rose made out of gold.  But the first-place winner received a real rose, a beautiful living rose that soon wilted, dried up, and died.  I ask you, is there a single one among us who would not choose the living rose?”

Ted Kennedy on loss and maintaining our humanity, from his book  True Compass: A Memoir (aff.).
