Oh the joys of being human

To be human is to know

we are far from perfect.

No one is better than

anyone else.

The only things that stands

them different from us.

Is how much money they earn,

the type of home they live in.

And the family background

they came from.

We are who we are.

Good, bad or indifferent.

It all depends on you.

How you project your life

as you live.

And deal with others around you.

If you grow up angry.

You most properly

turn to drink and drugs

and other ways to

escape from your hurts

and pains, let alone upsets.

And in return destroying yourself

in the process.

If you eventually don't see sense

and try to heal the main thing

that upsets you so

to want to destroy you

in the first place.

We all come into this world

one way and eventually all pass.

Best just going with the flow of life

and taking each day as it comes.

And enjoy life best you can.

And making the most of

what you do and have

and cherishing it.

And not making yourself suffer

by adding more pain to your woes

with self indulgent vices.

That with over uses might kill you.

Oh the joys of being human.

We all understand what it's like.

I've always believed that compassion makes for a kinder and gentler world.

each of us is just as good the other...we just have to believe in ourselves...we need to know that money and power does not necessarily buy happiness or esteem....if we are good inside...we will have friends and a wealth of inner peace.
