REVOLVING DOOR

Life is one big trick. What made him do it? It was not guilt or shame. It was nothing that he felt all his life. The man drove his car into the river because he felt empty. And a man who feels empty suffers from loss. He was blind to love. He was damaged, and didn’t know how to love himself. The man who drove into the river embodied emptiness and loss and fear and pain and guilt, so he made those around him suffer as well. He failed them. Yes, life is a choice, and some of us choose to be alone. That man chose to be alone at the bottom of a cold, dark river. I choose to be alone. Others may simply not like being alone because they don’t enjoy the person they are alone with, but I enjoy being alone.
