That you first became aware of life happened when? Think on this for a few moments. Why do I ask this of you? Well, I’ve asked it of myself a few hundred thousand times to try and figure out how I made so damn many mistakes, all through repetition. Again and again and . . . .
For me, it took a three month hospital stay, as I learned to walk again immediately after almost dying, to figure out that I probably never conceived of life beginning at birth. I may be an exception but I seriously doubt it. Exceptions to this rule invent atomic bombs. You know, child geniuses. Genius and I would never get along or become best buddies. No, I “Elmer Fudd” my way through life and am satisfied with who and what I am. And, it ain’t all “Mr. Wonderful” either, that I am. I have been “Mr. Stupidnaggle,” Mr. Drunkerthanalord,” and on and on. Mistakes. Where would I be without mistakes? I would have learned nothing is where I would be.
If life is, “A Cruise,” then most of us would have run aground. Ever tried to pry a ship off a reef? It takes a village. A term, takes a village, that I hated as soon as Hillary of Bill said it on TV. Bill and Hillary are a nuptial pretzel. Two kernels of corn in a nutshell. Oh well, that’s politics gone awry which seems to be where politics lives nowadays, in awry.
Life starts the first time you get badly burned. Pain is what life is about so don’t complain when things don’t go your way. It is a tug o’ war to get to the age I am at and i didn’t get here in one piece. Lord in Heaven knows that I am many patched together pieces of life. We all are, given enough time and stupidity. And, we are all stupid at times and that is where good or bad fortune comes to bear. Bad fortune means you die from your mistakes. Good fortune means you lived and have time to fix your stupidity. That is the borderland between life and death, luck and death, fortune and death. I could go on and on but you’re probably still thinking about when you became aware of life, right?
