I Propose

I propose love is not the answer It’s not what brings us together in our lives I believe it’s to the contrary Perhaps that’s the flawed reasoning in our “why” The majority of our life we suffer We fervently strive to avoid all of life’s pain Ironically We suffer and suffer more just the same So what if we embrace suffering? What if we learned to observe the pain and let go Perhaps awareness would occur - it’s all ephemeral Amazing – it’s our thoughts that make it so The truth – suffering is what brings us together In our darkest days we find light It’s where we flourish It’s where we become stronger in spite I propose love is not the answer Love is an emotion that manifest from overcoming pain It creates empathy – sympathy It creates a stronger emotion that doesn’t wax or wane I encourage you to embrace all of life Cherish all that life brings to you Suffering is inevitable – a necessity The answer? I propose gratitude
