Wanting Wisdom

For whom is the experience more realized, understood, suffered?

It is the condition,

The condition does not change.

Only its interpretation, reference, vantage.

Winners.

Losers.

Powerful.

Powerless.

Heartache.

Happiness.

Is the last attainable, approachable, realistic?

It is. It is.

We each can contribute to progress, evolution, metamorphosis.

But be wary.

Every thought, every feeling you have ever had, has been had before.

You may think it is original because it is yours.

Shared with other you's who see it through the same prism.

Just as all the you's were them and theirs in other times,

And all their prisms presented perfect symmetry and solutions.

Recognize the commonality.

Recognize the shared experience.

Then do better.

Always do better.

That cannot be achieved by ignoring the nuanced tapestry of struggling strings that weave us together.

That creates a world that is not new, cannot be new, but can be patched, aligned, expanded and reinforced.

Change takes generations - not a generation.
