A Complicated Nature

Human beings are a complicated nature.

We change our minds. Say yes when we mean no. We speak of love and hate in the same breath. Embrace some, and shun others. We fear love and welcome pain.

How we feel about ourselves dictates how we feel about others. We try to hold both truths, under one abated breath. But the opinion of others unabashedly wins. Their view of us, becoming us.

Decisions are a tormented out-growth of our disconnect. One way of bridging one world to the other. Attempting to unite our outer doing, with our inner being. Still we remain lost.

It isn’t until the spirit calls, that many of us make it home. Yet the ultimate dream lingers. The dream to die in peace.

If we didn’t live in peace, can we die in peace? Living could be the point.

If this were the ultimate truth, would you do your living differently?
