When you look at my basic Profile and pictures on my fubar site, you only see me the way I am when I'm having a bit of fun. There is of course the deeper things in life that we all share, the things are the truths of a more spiritual human heart. I have read some very sad cases of a deteriorating social society, everything from murders of innocent bystanders to horrible crimes committed by young children. It's a shame that such sick people do the things they do. Whether they are just as much tortured souls, or are really bad people. I've had many good friends pass away, and at the time would often ask why only the good seem to die young. I could never justify that these things were by fate nor choice. I believed at one time that perhaps they were just too good for this world. Many find their own beliefs to cope with such madness, and yet as often as this happened I was blind. So I'll share a secret with you. I never ask why anymore, for why anyone? These things become part of the conflict of the opposites. For example, why bad things happen to good people. Ours is a world of both darkness and as much light. Whatever opposites exist, we need them, this life in general. The resolution to the Conflict of the opposites is simply, that only through the existing opposites, by Karma, or by natural occurrences there in time comes the balance. You can't have the yin without the yang. In the end nothing is all black, nor all white we are both, because nature is both, cruel and loving at the same time. So as a fellow employee said to me before he passed on, "Every day I'm above ground, I count it a blessing, and I make every day count." That he did, he was a fun loving guy with a beautiful family that loved him very much. Mother once dedicated a song to me when I first moved to Calgary, the lyrics said: "We're here for a good time not a long time, so make your good days count because the sun can't shine every day! And the sun is shining in the city today!" Life is our ultimate game, so most of it is still in the choices we make. We can make the difference.
