Chronicles of Nana

I know there must be opposition in all things…it is a natural law. If we do not experience bitterness how would we know joy..? Individuals have their free agency to choose…but with every choice come consequences. With each actions comes reaction and therein lie many bumps in the road…

GENERATIONS OF TIME…

We have had generations who have come and gone…facing gigantic odds and over coming adversities. We come into life to be nurtured and taught and loved. We grow, experience and see for ourselves the world as it is and from that determine our mindset as to how we will respond from day to day.

BEHAVIORS…

Our behaviors walk the fine line between intellect and emotion. Some of us ride the tides of stress, some kick against the pricks and other lash out in knee jerk response while others recoil into self absorption. We do not walk these paths alone…others to some varying degree come alone, sometimes to complicate a situation.

BINDING RELATIONSHIPS…

Relationships must be very important in the grand scheme of things. Relationships need tender loving care otherwise they fade and disappear…It is said we do not get to choose our family. Thereby..the odds of bonding in the true sense of love becomes worrisome. Even among families each person is individually born and molded. Having to accept each other and nurturing a lasting bond takes great work and patience…

Sibling relationships have always puzzled me. I understand the physical and emotional bonds that come with motherhood but the sibling connections are complicated and intense. Unfortunately the ways of the world get in the way of establishing” brotherly love.” Used to be that family bonded together just to make ends meet and survive… Forced isolation commands cooperation…

WHAT THE WORLD HAS COME TO…

Today, we live in a manner of convenience. When once we worked to survive …now we work to satisfy wants. Wanting things seem to smoke screen the natural desire for acceptance and viability. A short thrill or high seems to satisfy a short moment of pleasure. Nothing lasting …

As much as I seemed to have jump over that hill and sliding down it fast enough…I have come to know that worldly pleasures do not bring true happiness. I see it in a generation of young people whose vacant eyes show disappointment and dispair. They go to extrordinary measures to seek the absurd and debased to shock themselves into feeling…all the while drinking, smoking, swallowing or touching themselves and others into numbness…

In the long run, however, it is all an individual choice whose consequences rear up and bite one in the butt more times than not. Someday, we stand before ourselves reliving bad, stupid decisions based upon worldly morales and perceived desires…

Oft times bringing us to our knees realizing the wastes we have left and the seeds of good we have not sown…

They say growing old is not for the faint of heart..

But dying without goods works last forever!
