Acceptance

[salem22]

The toughest thing in life is accepting the fact that you can’t make somebody care about something that should be important to them but for whatever reason just isn’t. Accepting the fact that no matter how baffled you are by there disregard of such an important thing you still can’t force them to care. No matter how much the ignorance pains you there is nothing you can do. You can sit and ponder for hours how such a sickness can plague the human spirit, but still you will remain powerless. To know that if they ever do wake up and realize what they have done they will then be plagued by regret. That should some how be a satisfying thought, like some sort of revenge…but it is not. It’s actually rather heart breaking…and as the tears roll down my cheek in disbelief I just hope they know that I’m not crying for myself…those tears don’t belong to my broken heart but their’s…that through all their pondering of how the world works they’ve completely disregarded the secret they're looking for…the one that sits right in front of them begging to be loved. Their lies are so rich and run so deep that they’ve become a temporary reality that is vying for permanence…and you sit and wonder how is it that they just keep missing the truth and again have to come to terms with the fact that there is nothing you can do.

When that acceptance came it washed over me like a summer rain… so calming and pure. To release the power…diffuse the bomb…ready to move on… freedom at last! To finally see things for what they really are and to feel comfortable within that truth has created such a peace inside of me that resonates throughout my life like rippling water. To touch and be touched by such beautiful creatures is truly a gift… just to think that in some sense I sought out each and everyone of them just as they sought after me. Such a long hard journey… My heart now swells…
