How Do I

I ponder. I wonder. How do I live for money, while millions are dying for it? How do I appreciate life, while it's devoured every night for dinner? How do I keep driving, while empty bellies are filled with pollution at every robot? How do I make way for the mainstream, while society is already drowning in it? How do I feel comfortable in my own skin, when so many have been persecuted for the colour of theirs? How do I distract myself in churches and conference rooms, while the earth is crumbling under these structures? How do I live, when "that's life"? I ponder. I wonder.

Karma is the answer. We all experience the other side of the coin in another life, if not already! Its all part of our souls plan

Thanks Gareth, I wish that more people were able to see, feel and think that. :)
