On Whom do we lay Blame…? Our hair falls out early, We grow to be tall and burly, Our family members have hair that is curly, I wonder why all my life I have been surly…? Sister has a big ass and tiny boobs, Brother has the brains of a rube, With dads brains he could have invented the Rubiks cube, How can one generation be so smart? And the next laugh hysterically at nothing but a fart… We blame our parents for all in life that is bad, Responsibility we do not take, so sad, Some seem born with a gene to lie and cheat, Some though seem born to enjoy life, Showing others how precious it is and how neat… How many lives must we go through to attain enlightenment? Seems through each life the last we must for repent, Were we axe murderers in the last, Our victims in the sun allowed to ferment, Or did we work to improve humanity? Making life in general all the more decent… Who knows for sure? Perhaps in the last life we did grow to be mature, Or did we do little to our future enlightenment assure, Either way as you can see, for me, I am anything if not totally unsure… © ed ~ 7/17/05

A very deep and insightful read....and something to think about very well before answering!!
I think we are "one" of a kind...but the big but and boobs and no waist..that was my moms fault feeding me on "Lactogan" way too long!!

It's all about choices, EM... the past is what it is. 'If it IS broken, fix it' and move forward. It's when we dwell, obssess, let the negative consume us that it all comes unglued.

You have dealt us some thoughtful, personal ponderings, but this has to be way up there with the best. The thing that makes all of what you post so appealing is your uncensored honesty. That's my opinion and I'm stickin' to it! (smile) katy xox

Superb theorizing from you Ed. If you contemplate all that you are, you will begin to see that part of it is heredity, but what we make of it is entirely up to us. god created us but it's our imagination that makes us what we are. We are what we imagine ourselves to be, so if you think you're useless that's what you'll be, etc.

Well, I'd like to think that each one of us is unique in our own ways. Our parents brought us to the world, but we owe it to ourselves to live and walk our paths.
