It ain't easy! It starts off with you crying. You just came from a safe, comfortable place. Now it's loud, lots of lights, and you have to start using your survival instincts. Breathe, baby, breathe. It hurts! Feed me, I'm hungry! Oh my, my belly hurts so slap me on the back. Oh, there it goes, oops, both ends! Oh, well, I don't have to clean it up.
I'm older now! A lifetime of being told what to do, how to behave, what to think. Why do I want to be like you? Are you happy? Do you really know everything? Oh my, I'm growing everyday. It hurts, getting larger and larger. Oh, well, some day it will stop.
Why do you keep calling me a teenager? Is that so bad? Just because my hormones are changing, and I'm learning to cope with emotions and physical things together, doesn't make me stupid. And who made me anyway? And what is a universe, and a God, and a Spirit? Is it really what YOU say it is? Why can't I answer? Oh, well, someday!
Finally, I've got away from schooling. Didn't learn a lot anyway, but I'm glad to be on my own, do what I want, go where I want. Just wish I had money to do it. That way I can make my wife happy, buy things for the kids, and go do my thing once in awhile. Oh, well, I have a credit card! That makes it easy! But love still hurts!
Wow! I didn't know kids were so expensive. College, marriage, car, house, things. Is this why I'm here? To provide for others! Why would I have come all the way from the other side of the universe to experience this? Oh, well, I have a brain, and I'll figure it all out!
Oh where did the time go? I've reached the golden years, finally, and I'm on the threshhold of death. Any day between now and another twenty, thirty years. Am I ready? What have I accomplished? Did I make others laugh? Did I make others happy for a moment? Have I fed or gave water to those who needed it? Did I clothe those who had none? Did I try to help others? Oh my, I guess I don't get it!. Why is life so hard?
Answer: Because we make it hard! We came here to experience life, the tree of good and evil. It is a duality and everything here falls under it's laws of duality. It is a roller coaster ride, the sheer terror of falling in an uncontrolled vehicle at high speeds, the thrill of impending doom. It is the freedom to do what we want, no matter what the consequences. It is the ability to experience the good with the bad, and the sour with the sweet. If we didn't know one, we wouldn't know the other. It is the icing on the cake of material life. And we can do what we will. But if we lose sight of who we are, or we forget who we were, that we have come from another place, then we will not care. And if we do not care, we will not discover love, the heavenly version of love, and we will not rise above ourselves to become truly what we are designed to be. One can take it or leave and think what they want, but it is pretty simple, and does not have to be hard! Experience life. Feel the emotions of others around you. Smell the flowers! Listen to the rocks and trees! Do love! Peace!
