Remorse

Along with common sense, I think remorse has left the planet. People seem to do terrible deeds because they know they will not feel regret or remorse. Why is it that people want to control the lives of others? I find it enormous just to lead my life. What energy it must take to try to lead one's own life and then make decisions that will affect the lives of others. And those decisions they make are devastating and last forever. No one knows what is in anyone's heart and mind but one's own. So bring back remorse ... it can be a beautiful thing if it keeps any of us from making the wrong decisions. Oh yeah, Live and LET LIVE.

birthdays

Ok... so I am now officially one year older (as of 2 days ago). I always thought life would get easier as I got older because I would know more and understand more. HA! That line of thinking appears to be a big joke. Yes, I know more, I feel more comfortable with myself and others, I am able to let go of things that don't really matter anymore and able to focus on what does matter. But, that is the million dollar question -- what DOES matter? It seems that nothing really matters. Really. We have no control over things we think should matter. So, what's the point? I now see the giant glaring issues of the world and realize I am just one person and so many need help. It is frustrating. I also have more wonders now. The biggest being -- I wonder why people die at different ages. Why am I allowed to be my age and a baby dies. I don't understand. This life can't be all there is. Maybe it's a mid-life crisis. Yeah...let's say that's what it is. Maybe it will pass. But, I doubt it. The knowledge isn't going anywhere.
