When I first heard
these lines I thought someone must have somehow got into my head. It came as a
shock to know others feel this way. When I look around everyone seems to be
"getting it" and are quite okay with the chaos in the world.
To me, it feel like
we have been dropped off here and forgotten. We hear that there is a god that
loves us but it doesn't feel that way to me. I feel alone most of the time. My
god does not give me direction or speak into my life. He is very, very, very
quiet. So quiet that I doubt his/her existence.
I want a
"buddy to be with to tell me where we is coming from and where we is going
to and why". I am tired of people being ugly to each other and all the
pain in the world. It is just too much for me. It is indeed, like pieces of
glass in my head.
Can you
understand? For some reason, I think you do.
(And why can't I
format this post!?)
Thank you. I am also very tired of people being ugly to each other, and of the pain. So much pain, felt by so many.
ReplyDeleteI think that we have to do the best we can. Each and every one of us. And if enough of us do, perhaps the world will become a kinder more welcoming place.
There are far more people in this world that feel the same way that you do than you think. I'm certainly one of them. But we do the best we can in this crazy, messed up place. Or else go stark raving mad!
ReplyDeleteAnd like John Coffey, aren't we all serving life sentences on death row?
ReplyDeleteI feel the same way too. Some days it suffocates me and all I can do is cry. You are not alone.
ReplyDeleteBirdie, you are definitely not alone in all this. We all feel this way. Some days are harder than most.
ReplyDeleteI'd like to think there are truly good people everywhere but it's not that way. We are on this earth to learn from and to teach each other.
Just remember, when we die there's a test.
I think we all feel that way from time to time. When I do, I try to think of the good things I see people do for each other.
ReplyDeleteWhen I feel like this, I try to take care of my needs a little more. I put lotion on my feet and I just try to find comfort in little things.
ReplyDeleteSometimes the weight of our lives and of the world appears to push us down but we must find the strength to get up and face the ugly!
