Age old simple questions!
“Why?”
Ever ponder, “How Come?”
Ever found yourself asking these question or at least desiring to ask them?
I have….
I’ve wondered why do bad things happen to innocent children?
How come, the humble, meek, and timid are used by the proud?
Why, do the powerful, influential, and rich seem to not care how the money is gained or how much it’s costs other for there gain?
Why is production valued over relationships?
How come it seems that, money, results, and prestige valued over a persons life?
Why do doors open for those that are driven; while, those that truly care pushed aside?
The “Why’s” and “How Comes” have lead me to several dead ends. They have caused an emotional vertigo. They have made me hope, value, and desire genuine relationships more than I can understand.
Why do I ask, “Why?”
Why do I ponder, “How come?”
Well let’s pull back the curtain a bit…. Just a bit….
Bottom line: for me this is centered around two things…
1) suffering.
I’ve always pondered and asked “How come, people suffer soooo much on a global level: basic needs, emotionally, mentally, etc..?”
Current conclusion: I don’t know…. …. but it sucks.
2) jealously
I’ve often pondered, “How come they have obtained or gotten…….. (Fill in the blank)?”
Current answer: because I stop and weigh the cost of the pursuit of such things and I am not willing to be away from my family or sell myself for any amount…. …
Now to the “Why?“
1) “Why?” Way was I molested and lead into the realm of porn at the age of nine? “Why?” Why, do I cower and not stand up for myself? “Why?” Why, do I not fight back when I should or have the opportunity to defend others?
I don’t know…
But I do know thats why I ask “Why?” That’s also the reasons I ponder, “Home come?”
So here’s to the journey. Here’s to daily giving myself the freedom to ponder and ask questions. Here’s hopefully figuring things out a bit more today, and then tomorrow. Here’s to living in reality where mistakes happen and perfection is seen for what it is: a mirage Here’s to falling down and getting back up.
Here’s to those that genuinely care.
