Who are You?

"Who are You"? A simple question? Not really. Most people will simply give you their name when asked this question. I don't care WHAT your name is...it doesen't matter to me.  WHO ARE YOU?  Who are you,what do you believe in? Why are you here? Why are ANY of us here for that matter!? What is your answer to these questions?

     You read these little pages, and know a lot about me...not everything,but a lot. I know nothing about most of the people who read these pages. Are you rich? Are you poor? Are you male? Are you female? American,British,French,Canadian,Spanish,Mexican,Russian,Chinese,Japanese?? We are so many different people...and, yet, the same. I have never understood how people can simply kill each other like it means nothing to them. That could be you lying there.

          I think that humans are the only animal that kill purely for pleasure. And, worst of all, we kill our own kind! For NO reason! OK,listen...money,drugs,relationships,and guns are NOT reasons to kill people! War...nope,not a good excuse either. Yeah,I hear you in the back, but I do live in the real world. I know all of these things go on all of the time. There is no way that I can stop them. The only way to stop ANY of these things is to completely do away with human emotions. We have not evolved that far yet.

            Is that really a good idea? No emotions for anyone? What about love? What about caring for each other? What about Art? Paintings,Songs,Poetry,Sonnets,Plays,anything that evokes emotions? Okay, so that idea is out. So, who are you? Why are we here?

          I fear we will never know the answers to either question. Feel free to respond,if you can!

Who are you and why are you here? Good question. You keep hearing that we we're all put here for a reason, what reason? I haven't found mine yet, unless you count child rearing and raising the litttle tykes. My time is running out. Who am I and why am I here? Maybe Oprah knows. She seems to be fully connected to the spirit of life! Maybe the Pope knows! Whatever I'm "suppose" to do here, I don't know. Do I need a reason to be here?
