As a child, we are reckless. Nothing can touch us. We will live forever! Or at least, that is what we think, in the early years of our lives. But sooner or later, those thoughts have a sad, dramatic death. The truth decides to approach slowly at first. Little hints. Then, life. She hits and knocks you down. Hard.
My eldest brother Isaiah. In elementary school, and lightly into middle school, he was bullied a lot. Perspectives change and twist into knowing more of what children and people do. Mostly out for themselves. He didn't do anything. Only went to school. And his sensitivity to people and feelings made him become a target. There are times in my life this is brought into the light and smacks me in the face. Humanity. My 5th-grade year, a 6-year-old, a friend of one of my brothers, died in a car accident turning the corner. 6th grade, a friend I met that year, committed suicide that December. The hard truth learned was we are not invincible. Adults, children, everything in between. The world does not protect or ensure safeness. Humanity alone is only proving to get worse. Put then into the mix, the devil's work, and you have the world we live in today. We tell children they are ok and will live forever. And that is ok. But would they be better if they heard it from us or life? It's cruel. The dance we dance with her. The dance we dance with life. But then, we also have to accept there is nothing more we can do. We are toys positioned at the hands of her. And that's fine. We have to learn that is fine. Fine because this... this life, this world. It is not our final destination. It is not where we are supposed to be for our entire existence. No matter what you believe in... Whether be a god above or "science", believe, this is only a pit-stop of our spirit, a lesson it has to learn before going wherever it is to be going. I have learned this. Accepted. I may forget this lesson she has taught me. But she will never fail to remind me. Now, and forever, a reminder, I will never miss nor want to get again. The world we live in today. And the cruelty of life.
