Questions 67 and 68

In this life I find myself asking more questions and coming up with less and less answers. Is that life? The questions simple and the answers complex? Well those are two loaded questions in and of themselves.

Life used to be simple. If you colored inside the lines, ate the crusts, AND drank your milk then by golly you were solid. I was good at that. Ok, the lines took awhile but man I could eat the hell out of a crust. Wholegrain, white, multi-grain, didn't matter.

But these childhood tasks have evolved like I have. Now it's about going to class, reading 300pgs a night, making good decisions. Well, I guess in that case nothing has changed. What? The tasks are different but what they require is the same. Diligence, patience, and most importantly, self discipline.

But then there are those things in this life that make no sense. At least not to me. If they do to you my friend then please by all means explain them to me because I'm lost. There are things in this life that I was told were true and lasting. Perhaps I haven't found the real ones. I'm a miner with a claim full of fool's gold. Well that isn't paying the bills.

Problems have solutions. I like finding the solutions. It helps me better understand the problem. But there are some problems that don't make sense or shouldn't be problems all together. So how am I supposed to find a solution when I can't even identify the problem? Damn these questions.

Ok so I have some questions and maybe you have the answers.

Why are we here?
Where is here?
Why did God take you but leave them?
Where is the slow motion button on this life?
Where do I go from here?
Who is with me for the full ride?
Who am I with for the full ride?
Did I take a wrong turn?


Life is full of questions and I suppose the answers come in time while others will forever remain unanswered. But as for the secret of life, well that isn't a question at all. Just enjoy the passing of time.
