MEPHISTOPHELES |

Ich sag es dir: ein
Kerl, der spekuliert,
Ist wie ein Tier, auf dürrer Heide
Von einem bösen Geist im Kreis herum
geführt,
Und rings umher liegt schöne grüne Weide.

A chap who speculates - let this be said-
Is very like a beast on moorland dry,
That by some evil spirit round and round is
led,
While fair, green pastures round about him
lie. |

We have here one of the descriptions that describe a state
of mind, this time of Mephistopheles. Sometimes we might
get lost in senseless speculations that do not bring
us anywhere. Often we have to try to realise projects
that exist and not speculate about what could be. In shorter
words the Rolling Stones say:
|
You
can't allways get what you
want
but you can try sometimes, to get what you need. |
|
Sometimes it does not help to think; sometimes one has
to do something, with strength and does not let others
make him give up. Man does not have a way; he makes his
way by going upon it.
