Can I ask a question?
If the world was at peace where would we be.
When you die do you hope for more.
When the love fades from the hearts of dreamers what do we have left.
If all is gone where do you see yourself.
I wish I could ask...
The kids are raising themselves where did we go so wrong.
When someone is crying what is true help.
When people lie how pained is the spirit.
When we hurt others what was the will.
In the world we are unequal because we believe it so, but why.
Because of envy?
Repression?
Ignorance?
We blind ourselves from the kindness and thoughtfulness of others with a closed mind and ignorant heart.
We see actions and wonder motivates.
We hear truth and ridicule it as deceit.
When the world finds truth who would believe it?
We say ignorance is bliss in the belief that once you start to learn and see your own ignorance you see all the wrong and unjust and feel the weight of understanding and find your way to be better.
However in learning the world imparts its own ideas and false understandings to you and many just take anything as truth believing it's the path away from ignorance and believe that knowing in quantity is enough only to be lost as a fool questioning how anything wrong could happen.
The Fool fails to look for wisdom as it can only be found in understanding.
To understand is to step back and look at each idea and lesson and look for your own understanding in each.
This can never guarantee wisdom in all but it is the foundation for the departure of ignorance in anyone who takes to heart each understanding they find.
People hear of facts and believe it is truth and see no reason to understand facts but only in understanding do people truly learn.
Thus began the March of fools with teachers refusing questions of students looking for understanding.
When schools push curriculum teachers cannot understand.
When funding is supported by tests that guarantee fools in the making.
The world looks in wonder at the failure in fools and laughs at the spectacle.
And many fools look at each other and blame one another unable to understand how the world could let them down so.
The Fool is seen as a new beginning and endless possibilities because even if let down by the world it still has the strength to get back up and find a new path.
The new path is the hardest and yet the lightest because all success and all failures are owned by one no need to look for excuses.
Now a question if you understand if your a fool when will you find wisdom and if you do are you still a fool or something new?
What are you?
Now with wisdom at your side what do we see.
What is our purpose and is it grand or simplistic.
Purpose is a mighty thing a weight chosen by one.
It holds up the sky as the world crashes at our feet.
And yet it pains us like no other as sharp as a thorn dusted by sand in the eye it blinds us.
We may never guarantee the fulfillment of purpose but it is the dream of such that breaths hope into our lives.
With hope and purpose we have passion.
Passion is the heart it is the fire that drives us and will to achieve to influence and change ourselves and the world around us.
The world acts as a wind and rain, a perfect storm to passion as it will ignite and breathe life into it and then flood it trying to stomp out its kindling.
Be weary as to protect it for if it goes out all is lost entell another shares their flame.
And in acts such as we find kindness and compassion even love.
But what does it mean where do we find ourselves now?
Are we hollow yet warmed by another.
Do you help shield them from the storm or they you.
Is your flame ignited again in kind company.
Or is all lost and you find peace being like a storm to others fighting off the wind liken a fool and flooding others flame in your dismissal.
What will you be when the world sets you back.
Could you be strong enough to start again?
Be the help you wished for, for others.
Be as kind as your heart allows.
To become wise and find purpose and never lose passion again.
Of course it's your choice in the end.
The world will push us back again and again but only can we choose to step forward if to step forward.
Purpose is only as heavy as the pursuit so if you find the world on your shoulders...
I live my life wondering why.
Maybe next I'll wonder who?
