The last piece of the
puzzle…who is wrong, who is right, nobody is to say in the end every piece of
the puzzle has a role to play in creating the final image…
Humanity is a fragile thing.
The expectations placed upon the human heart and mind are often displaced,
delusional demands made on the innate nature of man. Man is wired to
disappoint. No two ways about it. No matter how good you think I am I make
mistakes, do things wrong and sometimes being selfish is easier than patience,
understanding or empathy…
I could insert a lot of cocky
and arrogant statements here. Like I don’t care or I don’t feel. But I do. And
everybody loses in this particular case…
I read something today that
touched me…someone asking about the price of happiness…funny thing is I asked
that same thing two weeks ago and the answer I got was there will always be a
price.
“There is always the cost of foregoing one option in order to attain the
benefits of another.”
I memorized that answer because I knew this
day would come.
And so, I guess when all is
said and done, no amount of looking back at my imperfections or indiscretions will change who
and what I am. I am here for a reason and sometimes in life you don’t have to
know that reason. None of this makes any sense but I truly believe that one day
it will.
My heart beats stronger than
ever now. My blood runs redder than ever.
I picked up a jewel I found lying in dust and made it part of me. That is
all. And the cost of my happiness is still yet to be seen.
And yet…I will do whatever I
must to preserve and maintain it because that is who I am. I am earth, I am water, I am fire, I am light, I am everything and I
will not be denied.
In all my musings, I have
learned one thing, the heart does what it wills. I have been lied to. So have
you. But at the end of the day I choose to pick up the pieces of what is left
and move on. And I do this with all the dignity that I can muster given the
fact that the underdog sometimes has to eat the front runner’s dust. David and
Goliath played ball, David believed, David won. But the price in bloodshed was
heavy. Like I said everybody loses here.
And in this tale of three,
humanity wins…humanity will always win. It
is in accepting the flaws of a man that a people crown a King.
