Life is a series of situations. Isn't it? Everything we do is a kind of situation, the good and bad moments are all moments where we have to make a decision or choose not to make a decision. Strange how we can get involved with certain things and choose to ignore other things around us.
Someone is struggling, really struggling but we don't see that, we see an asshole but we just assume they're being an asshole. We don't see the struggling part... actually we choose not to see it so it's easy for us to wash our hands in the asshole lotion coz the lotion marked with pain is too far away for us to stretch for.....
Pick an emotion, any emotion you like. In fact let's pick a few emotions....
It doesn't matter if you pick one or a thousand emotions, unless you're actually going through these emotions then you have no fucking right to judge them
Ok... so she's in bad form and you feel like talking but she's giving nothing away so you walk away and call her rude... to everyone you meet. She's gone home and her night is only starting and those words she couldn't give you are now pouring from her.... words like 'I'm sorry' and 'Please don't hit me' flow now but you've already told the world she's a snobby cunt....
He's all ends of ignorant. All you said was hi and how are you and he answered with a kind of grunt and now his phone is ringing and he's not answering it and you know it's his wife so you meet those you meet and you assure them that he's a wanker and you know this coz the prick couldn't even be arsed answering his phone to a woman he loves....
Did you ever stop and pause and wonder why the world is the way it is...?
Why she cries or he cries or the day stayed dark for some and didn't even begin for others.
Why is he unable to face the world or you as you are so damn polite....?
Why is she lowering her eyes and not looking up when you've gone out of your way to say hi.....?
Sad that you're so hard done by, sad that you feel you have to bitch because fuck them for the rude ignorance of them....
Did you ever stop and bite the tongue that should choke you instead of choking the reputation of people you know fuck all about...?
The tongue that should poison you the minute you open your mouth but doesn't because life doesn't punish those with a hard mouth.
Life doesn't only punish those who already punish themselves.. life hurts everyone and you have to wait your turn for that because that's life.... but there are those who are vulnerable and yet they live, they live and they try and they ask for nothing except maybe if you meet them take a moment to read them, take a moment to wonder how their shoes would feel on your feet when you've walked in them for a lifetime....
Life is something we'll never understand but people are something we can try to....
When you lie down tonight pull those covers tight around you and take a moment to wonder what life would be like if you weren't you.... If you were one of those you choose to judge.....
Life is what you make it, but in a world now full of abuse and bullying and rape allegations and abortion referendums and homelessness and war and judgement we have chosen to make life a hell of a lot more difficult than life ever intended.....
Life has to be lived.... maybe we should live it individually if we can't bring ourselves to live it together in peace....
