As Life Passes
I was thinking about the times when I was with people who were bright and young and bursting with curiosity about the world in which we found ourselves. We talked of right and wrong and of desires and reactions. We lived as well and as badly as we knew and knew so little but our ignorance was balanced by our progress. Thus we taught each other, learning from our shared and solitary experience to attempt to achieve some understanding of who we were and what we were.
As life passes so we pass out of the company of those people with whom we learned and I still do not know whether we learned what was true or whether we deluded ourselves but I like to believe that there were some sparks of truth in what we discovered.
As life passes we pass into smaller and less profound circles in which the daily tasks leave little room for learning truth; the truth becomes our bread and shelter and our immediately relationships. Right and wrong and desires and reactions become what we live and what we do, rather than what we think. And there is no resolution of our curiosity, just acceptenace of whatever may come.
