Contemplation
13 years ago
Day by day we deal with our temporal nature. The limited time we spend present amongst our love ones contemplating what our lives mean, and how we shall act. Some of us hide ourselves away from hurt and pain while others venture forth into the unknown and find something worth fighting for. Day by day we suffer for some unknown reason our bodies wracked with an unimaginably large list of problems yet we continue to keep on going. Those that are lost are remembered, if not by name then instead by what they represented. All grudges, all hatred, and all problems are cast aside at the moment we leave this world. Who are we to judge someone for a slight against ourselves no matter how great, no matter how horrible when we have done just as much wrong? When will we understand that harming and hating one another is merely a manifestation of our fear of death? If anyone should read this senseless rant keep in mind that a person you so hate could tragically pass, and therefore I plead to you to grant forgiveness to that person even if they should decline it. Free your heart from the burden of hate, and elevate yourself to love. One does not need religion to care for other people, all that a person needs is an ounce of concern and from there they may begin to truly live a compassionate life.
