In search of the truth...
As if it could be summed up in one short sentence or one simple word.

We ask the simple question, "Why?" and we get a million different answers.

We look to the Buddha and to Jesus, and still, we do not find the answers.

Is there no one that has the truth?

Must we continue this futility?

Is the truth somewhere beyond mere words?

We want it to be helpful for all mankind. We want it to be undeniable. We want it to stop suffering. We want it to bring smiles. We want it to be simple. We want it to be understood by all.

Is that too much to ask?

1. You ask Why?
Edited on Sat Aug-21-10 04:58 PM by RandomThoughts
I could pontificate on injustice in the world or obscene wealth distribution systems.

I could think on the wrongs done to good people trying to do good, when they find they could have done better, yet they never learned, making them sorry when they should not be.

I could even think about many issues with many things.

But why? I can only answer that from my own perspective. I don't know for sure because of inaccurate information systems.

I do know that a situation that is not acceptable is not any different then any other that is not acceptable.


And I am owed financing for travel and beer, and many good times. Maybe other people are also, maybe not, but I don't really know that for sure do I. But I know I am owed those things.


So if someone asks me why, that is what I say, and anyone that stops people from hearing that, or does not correct that issue, is part of the problem aren't they.

And yes the world should be more just and kind also.
