Scientists, Psychologists, Poets and Priests all
have their take on what makes up our lives and
the natural or unnatural way in which we cope
with the many facets of life including success and
victory or abuse, alcoholism, addiction, rejection
and divorce. No one person knows the answers.
No collection of people can brainstorm and resolve
all issues in a Walt Whitman kind of way, where
everything in our lives interface—one thing causing
another, which leads to some other emotional crisis.
Experts can speculate on issues or people with issues
and that may be good, but no two issues are the same;
no two people are the same and even Whitman
backtracked in his writing to accommodate the
current presentation at that point in time.
Man is complex with no two alike; even twins and
other family members are decidedly different.
We are peculiar in that we like things to be
packaged and wrapped neatly so that no anxiousness
is involved. Along the way various people have
come together and agreed to live under a set of rules
which are sound and agreed upon. This is good and
still we have inequities and deviations from
the agreed rules. Consequences do not guarantee
equal results and still the learned ones insist on
having the answers, but they don’t.
The answer to life’s presentations lie within each of us;
in our sinews and marrow and our souls.
Souls, which cannot make promises and are
Over-burdened or not burdened enough,
thus our responses vary and the poets, priests and
doctors of science cannot explain, but throw out
opinions which allow those annoyed with wrong doing
to drift over to victimhood, which solves nothing.
In our spectrum of time, which is like a blink of the eye ,
there has been one man who has given us
the answer we are looking for and that answer
can be summed up in one word: Love.
