Life & Death

The white of it's black. Everything on this Eart has it's balance. Not only does Life have Death, but it also has impact. What I mean here is simple, impact on the living things around us and after us. Religion, philosophy and science all separatly tackled the question of the meaning of life. My question is why should there be? Does the bee question it's self on it's role in the big picture? Maybe it does. Every living thing on this planet has it's tools to survive, live and defend itself. We humans simply developped one systeme : Intellegence.

Intellegence gave us everything we have. We invented things to keep us warm, to defend ourselves, and ways to get our food. We slowly but surely detached ourselves from the common animal. We 'denaturalized' ourselves to ataint something. A better life style, a better quality of life etc. Why do we always ask ourselves de whys and wheres? Is it the cost we must pay to have what we now call confort? What do we have? What is so much better in us, that all else does not? Our security? We stay in our littles homes happy to be safe and warm, while all around us life simply IS.

Just BE.

Two simple words that have as much impact as you will let them. I read them in a novel some time ago and they stuck with me ever since. We worry about things that matter only because we decide that they do. Love, pain, happyness, sorrow, despair, rage, etc they all have their purpose.

Someone said to me recently : It's funny, what ever hapens, it's OK. I mean, you can always make the best of every situation.

I guest he was right. Just be. The rest is just, as a film once said : "shadow and dust..."
