Life is like a box of chocolates… surely you know who said it…if not, you should at least google it…
Is it true? Mostly. I was recently told that it “wouldn’t be fair” not knowing an answer to a special question because the “jury’s still out there on this one!”. Who said life is fair? Who could say it with conviction?
Looking at life from an angle that nobody else has is no easy task. It’s what makes communication so darn tough! How do you put something in words that express exactly what you mean, without leaving room for doubt, misunderstandings or grief? Explaining oneself is probably easier done if taking the thoughts apart and sifting through them until the most prominent remain. Then looking at them with someone else’s eyes so that the best conclusion can be drawn… from the outside. Or, if this is too much work, just disregard the whole processing part and turn your back on those who require translations for your actions, thoughts and personality…they are not worth the effort anyway…will they “get it”? Probably not… so, why bother in the first place…
A wise man once said that each road ends. You may have others that intersect it at some point, it may lead into a larger path, it can be a dead end. But all roads we walk throughout our life stop somewhere. Now that’s an unsettling thought…and that’s where life is not fair, but what can ya’ do about it?…
It’s a perfect Spring day in my corner. Cloudy and with a chance of rain. I can hear the wind and the seagulls playing a canzonetta. Ah, life! But, in a different corner of the world, the snow has yet to melt, and the freeze is still there… People are still going about their life, no stopping them… Different points of view, my January, your January…Which one to choose as the right one?
In reality, it’s oh, so simple…Life is personal, and so should be our take on it…too bad there are those that poke through our bubble, having no clue what’s in there, but thinking they have done nothing wrong… and yet, changing our universe.
This week I’ll keep it simple. And enjoy each chocolate as it comes… Hope your week is straightforward. And true.
