graduate, employed, gainfully employed, personal time, Our life pieces must be jagged at mismatched edges No matter how hard we try, we can never assemble them to reach fruition Maybe each of us walks around with a congenital heart defect, a gnawing hole that never gets repaired Maybe happiness is intertwined with simplicity and we are denied its privilege once we become complex creatures |

Life is life It is a whole But the sum of the parts Can make you feel As light as air I dont know about jagged or mismatched That isn't life Just reaction Of a closet environment Finding brains When you assumed You were the brain To produce the drive To earn the money To have the courage To understand And the guts To see it through As you face bias For your colour, age, sex, education To deprive you of your ability For someone You lacks sense Answers None I wont lie down and give in Yes Something I wrote once In darkest thought In deepest night Keep your faith Dont give up the fight Believe in yourself There is nothing else Fight the fight If you know it's right When humiliation is your drink And you can't fight back No matter what you think Walk away Come back some day And make them understand You are alive You have the right No matter what Don't give up the fight dave |

thanks Seymour for your comment Dave, thank you for your reaction to my musing! that was very flattering  though just to allay any concerns, this musing doesn't reflect on my personal mind frame. i noticed that a lot of my friends are dissatisfied with their lives for a variety of reasons and thought i should note that down. kinda a social commentary. hee  |

Kaile I often say to people dont think I am experiencing something because I write about it. I freely admit to falling under the image you created and reacted accordingly. regards Dave |

kaile, Odd how empty life seems when we make ourselves the focus. And interesting how the issues disipate as we seek to meet the needs of others. This is, indeed, an insightful write. Peace... If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again. |

To be self referring is the way to being satisfied - to identify not with the trappings of the world and other's opinions, but to rely upon self and the growth of being. Wish not, want not - wise old saying.  SusanHappiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you. Joy is a state of mind. |

It is a very interesting approach you've used here. Ya true... Even though there are many things in life for which we must count our blessings, we still seem to be unhappy... or rather, unsatisfied. What makes us satisfied? A happy home, a rich bank account, a well-paid job, 4 wheels?? It's really subjective... _,,,^.^,,,_ |
