I recently read some poetry by TS Eliot and found that so much of that message was similar to one of my other famous authors - Psychologist Viktor Frankl who created Logo Therapy. The similarity is so astounding that leads me to believe that Viktor had potentially read the poetry from TS Eliot and was heavily influenced by it.

Well, one would never know, but as one reads the materials from various authors you see these patterns of thought that overlap so extensively.

Knowledge is indeed built upon the generations of previous work and each new generation is influenced by the past which has taught us a variety of things and speeded up our learning, thinking process, and perspectives. So amazingly poignant.

Between the idea

And the reality

Between the motion

And the act

Falls the Shadow

Between the conception

And the creation

Between the emotion

And the response

Falls the Shadow

Between the desire

And the spasm

Between the potency

And the existence

Between the essence

And the descent

Falls the Shadow

For Thine is

Life is

For Thine is the

This is the way the world ends

This is the way the world ends

This is the way the world ends

Not with a bang but a whimper.
