Surviving Life

At some point we learn that one wave contributes to the formation of the next wave and so on and eventually the sequence of waves causes the last to crash on the shore. It crashes and falls back, moving the sand and pebbles and rubbish beneath it. And the water, swept back, leaves the wave to move forward without it. It's relative to society; that society is a wave, one that moves forward, but leaves behind that which gave it it's basis for success beyond the shore. In truth the individual is obviously a component of society. But once he finds his path, continuity and finally succession is his goal.

So I offer a few words of advice, yes, potential platitudes, but advice nonetheless. Void of my explanation, take them as you will.

Give more and expect less. If you have the capability to do well, you will try your hardest to prosper and only then can you do better than he who provoked you. Don't let society dictate your emotion. Have faith - not in humanity, but in God. Easily can we underline our differences on the surface and, although concealed, our similarities are just as prominent, but skin deep.

And the last, unfortunately, reprises the figurative realtionship between society and the wave. (In the long run) You're on your own and no one cares.

P.S.

Needless to say, I must stress the importance of love through all things. Not necessarily love as lovers do. Love is our one chance at emotional sanity.
