You are not expected to carry the entire load in life but you will need to carry your share. Of course what is determined to be your share is subjective and I’m sure it will and has drawn ill feeling over each of our lives. But I do believe when drawn into being more cognizant with our cause and effect, action and re-action of each day the level or personal responsibility does come apparent and you gain an intuitive level of what that “load” is…and to stand by it. We each have a responsibility to each other and maintain a compassionate heart. But remember a compassionate heart is more effective when it is respected by all and when each person carries their own “load”.

euphuism • \YOO-fyuh-wiz-um\ • noun
1 : an elegant Elizabethan literary style marked by excessive use of balance, antithesis, and alliteration and by frequent use of similes drawn from mythology and nature
*2 : artificial elegance of language

Example Sentence:
Cora, given to euphuism, exclaimed, "Oh, glorious auroral orb!" and Paul agreed, "Yeah, nice sunrise."

Did you know?
Nowadays, someone who uses euphuism might be accused of linguistic excess and affectation, but "euphuism" hasn't always had a negative connotation. When John Lyly employed this verbose form of rhetoric in his prose works Euphues: The Anatomy of Wit (1578) and Euphues and His England (1580), it was a style that appealed to many of his contemporaries. "Euphuism" comes from the name of the character Euphues, whom Lyly described as a "young gallante, of more wit then wealth, and yet of more wealth then wisdome." The name was probably inspired by a Greek word meaning "witty." The term "euphuism" came into being to refer to Lyly's (and other writers') style a dozen or so years after his works appeared.
