Life

One never knows what is expected of him. I can't imagine having been
born with a map that would guide the way to success, happiness, and
love. However, we can only dream of what we will become in the
future.
Can you imagine a time when nothing is unexpected? To some this may
seem boring and drab, but for others it would be draw a fine line
between knowing life or death. I pity those who wake up one morning and
think the day is beautiful, but seeing the night as a sign of sadness.
I know those times. I know how that feels.

Life passes by like a gentle wind, but can easily change into a deep,
dark storm. Those are the moments that we dread and passing the time
away seems so unforgiving. A week of pain can be difficult and one
wonders when it will end. Selfishly I feel this way. I sometimes forget
those who are directly involved in the pain will have more than a week
of sorrow. They will think about the pain when joyous occasions reveals
itself.

A boy so young can lose so much all in a heartbeat. When he graduates
into the "real world" he wuld not have a father to stand with him. When
he marries, he will not have a friend to give him advice. And selfishly
I worry about my pain for a week, when this boy will have this pain for
a lifetime.

Life seems uncontrollable in desperate times. It there fate or do we
have a choice. Who knows how we will stand in our future.
