A Poem About Lazlo Zalezac’s Facts of Life

Thriller Story: Into every life a bit of truth may fall. The truths of life fell into mine. This is my homage to the creed called the 'Facts of Life' that Lazlo Zalezac invented for his novel, 'The Millionaire Next Door'. I recommend the story as one of Zalezac's best.

Life is not fair because
The universe does not care.
No one is exempt from death
Since physics rules the universe
While biology rules life.
The physics of life are tenuous, brief and final;
But, still, there is almost immortality in my chain of children
And in any of my goals that my family remembers.
The only constant in life is change.
But there is always a choice.
Yet, wishing never makes it so.
A person can’t exceed their limits
Except a person is responsible for their own happiness
And happiness knows no limit.
