A Vulnerable Existence

April 2012 A Vulnerable Existence The world revolves round and round, its direction, one way, future bound. No matter where, what, when or how, it followed that path, from the past until now. Each person a footprint on the world as it revolves, living for survival as the future unfolds. Like a life line through our existence to an unknown place, the momentum of time accelerating, as if life is a race. If the human race didn’t exist, the future would still occur. Survival is driven from the question “what do we exist for?” Who knows the answer? No one can be sure. Religion offers faith, strength and a moral guide that is pure. However, we all have different theories and beliefs, but this is often the source of conflict, suffering and grief. Our world is more resilient than the human race, no matter how much we destroy or scar Mother Nature’s face. Maybe in time when our race fully evolves, we will know why our world continues to revolve. Unless as some theories suggest, we destroy our world so we no longer exist.

Well spoken and written, Humans are tossed around by pride. They have the impression that without their living, Mother nature won't have been on a ride. Intriguing!

You ponder and probe for answers, Laura. Some people think that the world revolves around them! Vanity is the undoing of little minds! We are but a part of a wiser plan, and like pawns in a game, we have to follow the rules. ~ All the best. // paul
