2001-08-21 - 8:10 p.m. - Life is suffering rephrased


I have come to think that there is no conclusion---at least to a weak brained person like me---as to why some people are so successful in life, and some---are not.

I often ask myself whenever I encounter a very successful person, happy and content with their world: How many miles did they climb to get there, how many mountains, how many butts did they have to kiss?

Because if only I knew these miles, mountains, and butts I would ascertain how far I am from my goal. If they did 5,000, then how far am I? Am I at 2 miles, or 200 miles?

You must understand it is imperative that I ascertain these goals for sure, because how am I to have my eye on the prize as I toil and yearn for closure and success on my anguish, if I do not know how to measure where I am, and how to measure it, or if I can measure it at all?

But I continue. I know not how far I may get and what it may get me...it gets bitter and worse with each passing time.

Somehow, someone should have warned us that life does have its peaks and valleys, more valleys than peaks. I often wonder how lucky the dead are to have resigned from this hardship, struggle and rancor we call life...they are settled and their shovels are rested so they shall dig or toil no more. Rather we cry for their loss...when we should indeed rejoice that he/she has selfishly left us to suffer living alone.

I shall continue with this life, only cause it is not mine...and not mine to take. And in that suffering I shall keep some words dear and hope they alleviate the pain.

...if you're troubled/ you just gotta let it go/if your heart gives in to suffer/you just gotta let it go/when the troubles seem for nothing/you just gotta take control...

Thanks alicia...
