My brain gets a workout now and then, this is the results of one of those times. It has been a long time since I blogged on this site, I know I need to do some "fixing" so I will be more happy with it. Suggestions are welcome. I write all the time, just don't share, so why blog?
Sometimes I
think being a human is very hard. We
have thinking powers and so are faced with decisions. We are responsible for ourselves, we are
responsible to others. We have
obligations to fulfill, we make promises, bargains….much involved with other
humans.
Other
living things on this earth are dependent on us. Consider
the pets we enjoy---eat, sleep, roll over, play, entertain, show
affection, maybe guard. On a farm animals
may help with work, or produce a desired product for the humans, but still they
are cared for totally by us. Plants are
cared for by us or nature, wild and tame animals the same. Humans----have it harder.
We are
connected to other humans. We are happy,
sad, we get hurt feelings, we argue, we take revenge. We have to work to provide for our livelihood
one way or another. Sometimes we hate
the work we have to do.
Short of
being a hermit, there is no other way.
It is part of the plan, our journey may be over cobblestones and full of
potholes. Most journeys are. That seems to be the times we grow the most,
at least when we look back on the potholes we have navigated.
In the long
run, life is good. We just have to
remind ourselves of that every so often.
So very true. Sometimes I think being a hermit sounds like a pretty tempting avenue. But then, I change my mind and move on. Looking forward to looking back on some of these potholes. :)
