I have often wondered why some people often have so much death in their
lives. Yet, they are the ones who must suffer through the memory of
each one. Maybe, it is the school of "JOB" that they have to work
through in this life. I do not think most of the people who have
outlived family and friends ever realize it. Much like me. I always
thought that death, misery and suffering surrounded me. I was the cause
of it all. I even thought that I had the power to kill. Just by wishing
it on a person. After all, My mother died two weeks after I called her
every bad name That this once 13 year old could think of. Then I said; I
hate you and I wish you were dead. My very last words. Then there was
all of the foster kids that died in various ways or just disappeared. It
took me a long long time. To realize that it was not me who was
surrounded by death. It was my life that was experiencing all of the
death, misery and suffering that was happening to other people around
me. Even to the matter of me not dieing. I have come close to death many
times and each time I survived in an logically unexplainable way. So,
why must you and me continue to witness all of this death, misery and
suffering? I think there are many reasons mostly related to you
individually. I for myself have left those who are creators of drama of
any kind far behind. Those of you who still are witnesses of death,
misery and suffering. You to have control and power of your own life.
You are the authors of the very next chapters of your own biography. Go
and do what is positive for you in the here and now. Then discover what
rewards will manifest for you several chapters later. There is and
always be love, hope and compassion for those who seek it out.
