<em><strong>Carpe Diem</strong></em> (Verses by <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horace" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Horace</a> & <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Omar_Khayyam" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Omar Khayam</a>).
Our worries are eternal. Hence Horatio’s celebrated carpe diem: “Seize the day, place in the hours that come as little faith as you can,” which has been echoed over the centuries in every poetic form. As a token of this, I have chosen this short verse by the Persian polymath, Omar Khayam, written sometime between the 11th and 12th centuries.
This is what it says:
Be happy for this moment,
because this moment is your life.
--
Sé feliz por este momento,
porque este momento es tu vida.)
