Replying to a comment on:

Moments (or) Suicide (Free verse) by Dovina

I made a list as you could do of ten events so brief, profound they rest as Moments vividly recorded for a Moment cannot be mundane Seven remain as wonderful three as terrible. If the list continued I’d like to think seventy percent could be maintained as great My life reviewed and judged like this might be considered in some dark hour not just bunk, but as in this ordinary time for its just worth

To justly evaluate a life and thereby judge its value or worth is the thing I’m trying to get at. Nobody does it right in the angst of suicide. The method I’m proposing isn’t very logical, and your complaint about it in your PS is valid, but it’s easy to do. And it turns out, quite interesting in my case. You simply write a quick list of ten Moments, taking no more than five minutes. Then put a + beside the wonderful Moments and a (–) beside the horrible ones. (A Moment cannot be mundane or you would not remember it as important.) Then do the math. I’d be interested in seeing the averages.
