I guess that it's just meant to happen.

As you grow older, as years come to pass, you see your friends and family drift away. Each one is confronting its own problems, and that's how it's supposed to be.

So, why does it feel so queer?

Apparently, life doesn't begin at conception. It seems to me that it is a long and weary process that has taken thousands of years.

As our cells divide and die and are born again, we tend to forget that we, too, are born again constantly. Each day we face different challenges, although most of us try to maintain the same principles, albeit sharpening them up with each new experience.

But as our cells divide and evolve, so do the cells of the penguin.

Does the penguin endure the same things we do?

He worries about larger animals, such as polar bears.
We worry about terrorists and politicians.

He worries about food and his mate.
We worry about housing and income.

Why, heavens, why are we so blind?
Why do we keep disguising the truth? Or are we?

Is it just another "polar bear" that's making us more naive, towards its own benefit? We can surely say that there have always been men who predate on other men.

Are we not besieged by the evil intent of others?

One must learn to recognize freedom before it can be seized. Yes, there are quite different types of freedom. It is not the same to compare a Holocaust prisoner with an U.S. Penal System inmate.

Do we know where we are? Do we know where do we come from?
Do we still believe in an almighty God which created us from scratch or are we aware of the complexity of the universe and nature?

Can we feel what others feel? Why are we so certain about what others should believe?

"You should support my choice to have an abortion."

"You should try being vegan."

"You should care about the Muslims entering our nation."

Tell them that they're wrong.
Tell them that their right to live free is forfeit.
Tell them that they should die in their country instead of coming to yours.

Your argument is as good as theirs.

Are we going to be blind forever?

Almost everything we do is a futile effort to try not be alone.
Whether it is surrounded by aliens or alone in our thoughts.

Realize this and be free.

Be free from what binds your thoughts.

Experience being wrong.
Experience living in a world where everything changes every day.

And if everything is changing, why should you stay the same?
