I posted on my Facebook profile that I loved this life and this world, despite its flaws - and I meant it. The world may be a place of horror and fear for some people, it might be squalid and diseased to others, unfair, destructive, sick and evil - but the World is what it is - Planet Earth, beautiful in every way.
This planet knows nothing of good or evil - it just IS.
The people that populate it are what they are - a diverse and interesting mix of people; with differing ideals and beliefs. Some hate others, some wish only to look for love. There is racism and idealism, tolerance and intolerance, religion and fanaticism, wisdom and ignorance, hard work and sloth.
This Life is all I have, and so I love it. I love it for what it is. It is like a lump of clay that fills my palm - I cannot build a house with such a small amount, I cannot make a tree from it that will grow and produce fruit. I can only work with what I have. Like a poker player, I have to play with the cards I am dealt, and make the best with what I have - and so I do not yearn for more, I do not seek bigger, better, greater things. I do not try to understand all things, but by the same token, I do not disregard that which I do not understand.
I try to live in harmony with all things, accept all things, behave towards all things how I would wish them to behave towards me. I do not hate other races "because my father hates them", I choose to make my own opinions and my own decisions - and I hate no one. Well, almost - I'm not that keen on people that steal and lie - but hey, I'm only human, right?
Anyway - sipping my coffee, watching the world go by, thinking of my family and friends - I realise, truly, how LUCKY I am, how blessed I am, how truly Honoured I am, to have a moment in this World, this Life, to experience these wonderful things and to be a part of them.
I hope, by now, you do too.
