Dealing with Ourselves

Tony DeLorger © 2016

No matter our intention,
no matter our underlying predilections, 
life will always challenge us
to the point of breaking:
that is the point,
the purpose of being here;
so no matter how indignant,
no matter how disgruntled we become,
remember, learning is the path.

We can squirm, complain,
play the victim all we like,
become paranoid, angry,
hateful and a nightmare for all around us,
but in the end
we either learn and move on,
or keep the cycle going,
plunge ourselves into eternal strife.

So, without deep contemplation,
epiphanies of earth shattering magnitude,
we should just know, that
accepting circumstances and facing them,
in a positive way,
is the key to learning
and finding meaning in life.
It is our chosen path; deal with it!
