The sun sets on another day…
Sunset slowly down to the horizon and I could do nothing but watch in awe for another beautiful day that I got to experience. As we all look towards the sunset and the sunrise we should consider that we are a part of it and that we have gotten to experience it yet again.
I read a lot. Maybe more than a lot. I feel that I am on a constant quest for that one thing that we can never attain, the idea of more, and the knowledge that we know anything at all. The more I read, the more I find how small perspectives can be when it comes to the world. After all, the world is a big place filled with far too many ideas and realities than we can count. If we move into the fictional worlds there are a near infinite number of alternate ideas playing out each and every moment. I am quite impressed by it all and humbled by my obscurity in an unlimited universe.
Today as I was reading I came across a short comic in a compilation that had me thinking, I am still lost in that thought. The following are just some things to think about if you’re interested:
Sometimes our days do not go the way that we hope. Sometimes situations take away all the great things we see in front of us and instead plunge us into darkness. Sometimes bad things happen to good people and it hurts, often deeply. Sometimes the world seems inescapable and there is no good answer except that there is no good answer. Sometimes we look at the world and see the negatives closing in all around us and it’s more than we can take. Sometimes there is loneliness and when there is loneliness we are often filled with despair.
Sounds grim doesn’t it. But:
Sometimes people step up and try to help others. Sometimes you are helped by someone who isn’t looking for a following or a fee. Sometimes people reach out because they see possibilities of good in the world. Sometimes people are there when you need them and all you need do is take their hand. Sometimes good really does triumph over all. Sometimes no matter how deep the darkness there is a light that shines and brings us forward. Sometimes the idea of truth can overcome the world and the idea of being positive actually mean something. Sometimes life is filled with possibilities and you are never lonely because your heart can be full with the feelings of those around you.
I know, I know. This is a lot, at least it is for me.
It would be easy to just say that everything will be alright. I believe that most of the time. Everything’s going to be alright and everything has the possibility of a little more. Still, there are those that need help sometimes. There are those who can’t see past the darkness. There are those that walk away from the light. It is not up to us to preach or impose upon anyone, at least that’s my opinion. It is up to us to try to help when help is needed and when we can without thought of reward except to our inner self. Sometimes it is a good idea to make the world a better place because you are in it.
Take a deep breath. Sometimes you are the key. Sometimes I am the key. Sometimes we can make the world just a little better. After all it’s just a matter of time until we will need that help. Sometimes allowing people to help is a good thing.
So as the sun sets on another day, I hope that if you need help and the darkness is closing in that help is there and can lift you out into the light. I hope that if you are in the light and see the darkness closing in on someone that you can reach out and help them forward. Most of all I hope that tomorrow. and for as long as possible, that we enjoy the sunsets together wherever we may be, no matter what.
Sleep sweet, love life, and live fully everyday…
