Contemplation For My Soul

CONTEMPLATION FOR MY SOUL I am contemplating on how I see the world today. People see what they want to see, mainly focusing how happy they can be with what money can buy or what they can steal for they want these material things so bad, without even thinking who they hurt. People want to hear what they believed in, whether they are right or wrong for nothing else would matter. People want to do what they want to do for power, ego, status without minding the consequences at all. While the pandemic rages on, knocking millions of people, dying or getting severely or mildly sick. While unrests are causing deaths, displacements, injuries, disobedience, uncertainties and poverty. There are self-centered people with complicated lives, living in denial, make belief, pretense, selfishness. Pretending everything is fine, throwing pity party when things do not go their way, acting like children. Yet, they are the ones judging, complaining, comparing like nothing is wrong with them or they are perfect. When life is so simple when totally being honest by getting to know and accepting your traits and faults. It pains me greatly how time is a changing right in front of me; not for the better it seems; but for more mayhem. It makes me appreciate the ones, who are trying their best to help and it brings me cheers to see humanity at its best. I am contemplating on how I can I help as an individual, what I can contribute for the world to be a better place. I wish for calmness, peace and harmony and it begins with me, with you to be kind, reach out and give more love. I wish you a very Happy New Year!!! A new beginning!!! 12/27/21 Sweet Lady Jane

Sweet Lady Jane is my pen name. I got it from the Rolling Stone's song "Lady Jane", which begins...My sweet Lady Jane... I love John Lennon and Mick Jagger and of course The Beatles and the Rolling Stones. Nice to meet you too. Happy New Year. Blessings to you.

Hello Marliene Evens, I wish for calmness and peace in myself. I wish for peace in the world. No one hungry and has a place to live. Yes time is changing fast and it scares me that it is moving too fast. I wish time would slow down. Hugs

Hi, Darlene! I do wish not only for time to slow down; but go back when there were calmness and peace. I don't really know when were those years..... All we can do is find peace in ourselves and let in radiate to the world.... Happy New Year, Darlene.
