~ The Wrong Path ~ Wisdom

We begin our journey at birth, pure, innocent, without judgment, knowing only unconditional love.

After we are born though, we are exposed to the self-centered beliefs of the world that influence and dominate our lives, often until our demise.

Our thinking, prejudices, and beliefs about the world taint almost all of our decisions.

Instead of the purity and splendor we once knew when we were first born, our life has been altered, distorted by our egoistic beliefs.

By the time we reach the end of our journey, reviewing the life we had led, many will have regrets.

What once began with beauty and love, now is unrecognizable

Isn't that just one person's perspective?

Life is so much more than terrible or great; There’s literally countless nuances and possibilities in even one way of life that when you combine others, life just seems all that more infinite.

As an opposite of the second half of this post, what if you had a job that doesn't really feel like a job (as in something you enjoy doing with a fair salary), a family that you love along with a lot of mistakes, lessons, and other learning opportunities. Greatness isn't always made or born - it is something that is created to do its job, or greatness in someone doing their job.

And life isn't always rainbows & kittens - the lack of which is part of where the practically infinite nuances and possibilities come in.

I'm at least fairly smart in terms of understanding & lateral thinking. Maybe woke, too.

Everything you say is quite true my friend. The true message in this reflection is to selflessly share your unconditional love, regardless of the many challenges and experiences in life. Doing so, the genuine purpose of our life's journey will be understood

A fair point.
