I wonder why
I am grateful for all that I have and for all of my abilities. I witness others who seem to have more, and those who seem to have less. I wonder why.
I see babies born and I see people leave this life. Some leave soon and others live a long time. I wonder why.
I see people lie and cheat – some get punished and some get rich. I wonder why.
I see attorneys and politicians get rich deceiving and manipulating the truth – telling controlled lies. I wonder why.
I see people forming beliefs based on nothing tangible. Some do well, and some don’t. I wonder why.
I was being introduced to goose hunting and went with a couple friends to learn about this activity. We placed the decoys out and hid well in the grass nearby being very still. Across the ice, we watched another group arrive and begin to put their decoys out. Suddenly we heard the honks of geese approaching so we held very still and waited. The other group was being noisy and still putting their decoys out while their dog ran around with them – we knew the geese would not go near them. The geese came into sight, and flew right to the other group – they finally heard the geese, grabbed their guns and shot two or three of the geese. I wonder why….
Life just doesn’t seem to be fair. I wonder why.
So I go on trying to be good to people and trying to get over being taken advantage of. When people try to feed me a line of crap, I think that I can see through it, but often wonder if I am correct in my assumption. I merely wish that it would be impossible for people to lie, but instead it is impossible to know if they are lying or telling the truth. I wish to let people know that I do not lie or deceive, and I hear myself saying exactly what the liars say… Then I tell myself – why should they believe me, and how can I expect them to believe me? At times I just smile and say nothing, and I am sure that makes people wonder even more. However, at times it seems that some people can feel my honesty, just like my new employer today when he hired me. These times make me feel very good.
