Life is interesting...
In life there are many stages
Things happen that alter or affect one's sphere
People come and go and with every encounter,
With each meeting, something is added.
Transition takes place
Perceptions are borne...
Thoughts formed and constant change,
Characterises the becoming of oneself...
Life is a journey we endure,
We possess and we fulfil -
A course that is not always easily mapped out
Winding roads and side-walks help us along the way (guiding our path)
- to what we consider to be our destiny; our fate.
Every opportunity to learn something new
brings many questions; brings an understanding...
We are led to believe that with much knowledge comes great wisdom...
Yet such knowledge overshadows the simplistic in finding a solution -
in knowing the answer...
Are we equipped to advise or be advised?
Are we willing to hear...
Are we assured by our conviction that it is so?
Do we rely on the omniscience?
The instinctive sense; the inner calling?
If so, need there be any proof?
Shall we convince to prove ourselves?
Are we not self assured?
Then why question what is known...
Why doubt, why fear?
Indecision may lead us to a dead-end...
What do we seek after?
That which we already possess?
Confucius believed that,
"Life is really simple but we insist on making it complicated"
Life seen from a child's vantage point may very well be simple
Although, as contributors to life we determine the parameters of its existence
Is life counter-productive or is it seen as valuable...
Does it remain the same or does it evolve with each stage?
The life cycle of our lives...
How complex; how simple.
