What If This Is Hell

What if this is hell? What if we cannot live until this flesh dies? What if our soul is angry that it has been captured and confined into an earth body? What if reality is the un-real, and the ones who can see and hear and feel what we cannot are right, and we are wrong? What if this is heaven? What if it does not get any better than this? What if her absurd reality is the reality? What if your arch-enemy is right and you are totally wrong? What if we are all one, and you did not know that? What if every person on the planet is a brother and a sister, of you, and yet, you have mistreated them? Would that be making fun of yourself? What if my reality and your reality are so far apart that you cannot fathom what I can so clearly see? What if you have to live sixteen hundred more lifetimes on this planet before you can evolve to your next heaven level because your mind is closed to possibilities that your soul needs in order to soar and shoot to that higher level? What if?

Gosh, if this is heaven...no, I don't want to think about it. Politicians, liars, embezzlers, thieves, murderers, drug pushers, killers...taxes...taxes...taxes...no, can't be.

Thank you Mahtab; I do believe until we all realize we are all part of each other, and we get to cherish our oneness, we will not reach whatever is far far away in our dream sleep.

Exactly right. Lots of things to consider.

Love the never-ending what-if part of your brain... how you are always open to possibilities. My favorite part of this poem is: "What if my reality and your reality are so far apart/ that you cannot fathom what I can so clearly see?" I see this play out so often!! Well said! ;)
