If you have a headache
change hairdresser,
if you feel sick
change mailman,
if you have pain in feet,
change shoemakers,
if you have pain in the language,
change translator,
if you have pain in eyes,
change landscape,
if you have pain everywhere
change family,
there is always
a person in charge
when you have pain somewhere,
sometimes even it is you....

Oh, dear Yann, this is cute! And the conclusion is of course the best advice ...

Sometimes we are quick to think we have pain due to other's actions and behaviours, but it is really our own reaction that allows the pain to surface. But then also too often we don't seem to have the energy to change ... (speaking for myself here!).

Love this!

Love and have a great week!
Margherita

Very wise and truthful, and in a pleasing, humorous way! I thoroughly enjoyed!

Very wise conclusion, yann and people are more apt to take good advise when it is given with humor. You know...a spoonful of sugar.

Wise advice from a wise person Yann.
Enjoyed.

Oh, and Margherita, you too speak the truth. I can relate to your 'said sentiments.

C’est vrai, mais je crois qu’il y a presque toujours - pas parfois - un choix.  J'aime tes pensées philosophiques.
