There is a Richard Cory that is inside of us, this blog is not IT related but somehow it could be related into YOU.
Richard Cory
by Edwin Arlington Robinson (1869-1935)
Whenever Richard Cory went downtown,
We people on the pavement looked at him:
He was a gentleman from sole to crown,
Clean favored, and imperially slim.
We people on the pavement looked at him:
He was a gentleman from sole to crown,
Clean favored, and imperially slim.
And he was always quietly arrayed,
And he was always human when he talked;
But still he fluttered pulses when he said,
“Good morning,” and he glittered when he walked.
And he was always human when he talked;
But still he fluttered pulses when he said,
“Good morning,” and he glittered when he walked.
And he was rich -- yes, richer than a king,
And admirably schooled in every grace:
In fine, we thought that he was everything
To make us wish that we were in his place.
And admirably schooled in every grace:
In fine, we thought that he was everything
To make us wish that we were in his place.
So on we worked, and waited for the light,
And went without the meat, and cursed the bread,
And Richard Cory, one calm summer night,
Went home and put a bullet through his head.

Richard Cory
We ( let's put ourselves in the story)
In my own point of view:
Everyone of us is a RICHARD CORY, maybe it is a very broad statement that can state but its true.
Richard Cory appears to be a respected and idolized person in community that everyone is into.
He looks simple yet elegant no one can seize his personality even though he just look like a freaking broad person.
One day of everyones' life, there's a news that strung every person who knows him, do you know what is the news? .......................................................................
He shot himself.
after our discussion, there leave a question in my mind...
WHY?
There is no person that could say "I'm Complete" because no one is..
Riches, glamour and fame won't complete a person.
