Why is it…. that it is only when stripped bare
-when brought to our lowest depths
that we remember life has greater meaning?Why can’t we keep our third eye open…always?
-seeing beyond praise from men andthe fruitless pursuit of earthly gain
knowing full well, all pales in significancein the face of humility, love and peace….with each other
Why learn our lessons the hard way?

I do not understand why humans learn everything slowly and at such great cost. I think insects have more common sense than we do.

We truly are obsessed with money, fame, our own faces even. Look at all the worthless selfies posted. We humans learn slowly if at all. Good write Vivian

Yes, why make it difficult? Perhaps to provide variety and some fun to go with it, Vivian!

As Rumi says, ‘The wound is where the light enters’ Perhaps it is how we find that peace in the end.

Good questions, Viv. Sadly, only a small number of people is aware of the third eye. If more eyes were open, more people would see what’s coming, and learn from past mistakes..

You are asking the right question and the answer will forever elude 98% of humanity I think. Not sure why because if you can think through the solution you should be able to fix address the problem. Not us…lol. yeesh. Great work!!
