Stuff I have figured out

Hello dearest cherubs:

I have figured out that nobody cares, really. And that's ok. It's just the way it is.

I have figured out that I am a good poet. I am not sure anybody in the literary world cares. Please see statement number one.

I have figured out that although death really sucks, by the time somebody gets to the end, it's a blessing in disguise.

I have figured out that we all depend upon one another whether we like it or not. I don't like it. But nobody really cares. See statement number one.

I have figured out that there is a life after death. I assure you this has nothing to do with religion. It just has a meaning for me having experienced so much death and so much life.

I have figured out that wine is food. Nothing in the world will ever change that. Wine is food.

I have figured out that when we bring children into this world, we bring trouble. Children are worth the trouble.

I have figured out that I don't know anything, really, I don't know anything. I wish I knew more.

I have figured out that learning goes on forever. And when we stop learning, we die.

I have figured out that love takes so many forms, it is impossible to name them all and thank goodness for that.

I have figured out that when people say that youth is wasted on the young they are both right and wrong at the same time.

I have figured out that those who care for others, must be careful to care for themselves.

I have figured out that if I win the lottery, I will have to toss dice to see who's life I will save.

I have figured out that my abandonment was my ultimate release.

I have figured out that stuff that people hate, is stuff that people do to themselves.

Here is my post for your consideration, my dearest and most beloved cherubs.

Therefore

Therefore, there is great hope although how this is achieved is unknown and how it is perceived is unknown.

Therefore, there are realizations which are arrived at in such a way that it would be impossible for us to untangle them.

Therefore there is a terrible and unmitigated sadness, which may never again be relieved or misconstrued or be blamed for its damage.

Therefore, there is leadership and one who brings home the march which causes us to march behind, whether or not we know why.

Therefore, there is love, which will never be understood, not even in the course of a millenia.

Therefore, there is terrible suffering. I do not know why.

Therefore, I have the feeling that every so often, I have reached something that I cannot name or define or forswear or defend. Perhaps it is the truth.

Therefore, I have hope.
