This life is full of mysteries and we might never fully understand some things. When people grieve and someone says "I understand" I sometimes find an exception to that in my mind and I am always tempted to ask them if they have ever lost anyone. I am always careful to use the word "I understand" because not everyone can relate to the pain another person is going through.
Sometimes when we can relate to it, it can vary too because it might never be the same experience but something similar to it. Just when you think you understand something about life, something else happens to turn your understanding upside.
I have always wondered what it feels like to be on top of the world. I see the politicians act in a certain way and you can't help but wonder what it feels like to be there so you can understand the way they are feeling or maybe do things differently from the way they are doing it. I have never been fascinated with Politics. I feel it is too messy, so maybe this is an aspect I will forever wonder about and not experience.
I have always wondered what it feels like to be wealthy, to have your money speak for you without you toiling day and night. It must have been a wonderful feeling and maybe not, for now, I can't relate to it but I hope to be able to, one day. Waking up with no real sense of urgency just a couple of phone calls here and there while you just take a deserved vacation but then, I can't help but wonder, if this is how rich people act, how then would they sustain their wealth if all they do is relax, sleep and wake up at any time of their choosing. As I said, I am still wondering.
I believe what sets people apart is the extra effort they put into things, so the idea of a rich man sitting back to do nothing is not quite what it is. There are a lot of efforts behind the scene because they want their investment to grow. They seek opportunities here and there and then and consistently put their money to use. The difference I would say is that they don't work for money 'per say' but allow what they have to work for them - they leverage and that could also be based on relationships.
I couldn't help but also wonder what it feels like to never age but then, that would mean running away from responsibilities hahaha and if everyone stays the same, how then do we grow and have more upcoming children? A lot has been said about 'adulthood is a scam' but then, that's the whole essence of living, navigating challenges of life, gathering experiences along the way so we can be better informed as humans.
I know we wonder a lot about life too and sometimes when I like a song so much, I wonder why I wasn't the one that sang it hahahaha but then, if I was the one who sang it, would that song have gained that global attention at that time?
There are a lot of things going on in all of our heads from time to time but we need to stay true to ourselves and carve a niche for ourselves. Let me leave us with a question we need to ask ourselves from time to time: "What would the world miss if I wasn't born?"
It's time to stop wondering and start doing. Knowing what you are here for, what you enjoy doing and how you can channel that to make a difference would always go a long way in setting your path. Wake up that sleeping lion and don't allow yourself to be tamed by wondering and start living.
i get those same thoughts too, especially anout other people's predicament. it's why I'm never one to judge but i do have my outbursts
