knowledge and Questions

you could know every single thing in the universe - but still not have the answers you seek

I could understand quarks and dark matter - but they won't be able to tell me why I'm here 

Thoughts on a nameless day

couldn't make a decision - even which words to speak 

fixed to a spot - unsure where else to move

thoughts of self-harm became like hunger - I'm going to eat my tea

when some feeling returns after being so numb - it's only a guilt for both of them 

Reasons for conflict change - but at the heart of it we remain

It doesn't matter where you stop the page in history - the reasons for conflict might be different - but we remain at the heart of it. 

Peace cannot simply be the absence of war - we'll still be shouting at each other in a traffic jam, or wishing our neighbour ill through the wall.  

It has to be a change within each of us - guns do not fire of their own accord - fists do not punch without a thought. 

Beyond the law.

Laws and rules get us into thinking - this is all we're responsible for.

Do we lack the ability to decide beyond this - what is right or wrong? 

That is left for someone else to decide - just as if the train will be running on time.

Undefined

Pots and pans. There is not just one way of defining these things. No one defining quality of a human being. Nothing exists as itself - but as a result of all manner of things. Thank you moon for writing these words. Thank you driftwood for breathing my air. 

I do not exist as me - but as a little part of everything. Sea levels are rising - tears are flooding from my eyes.

Hope.

We only make excuses for our bad behaviour. 

Good news is hard to come by because it isn't news. 

Humans are predisposed to kindness and compassion. 

The world is not the hopeless place it often seems.
