My Understanding

If I want to be always right in my understanding, then it is no understanding at all. Understanding is about being right and wrong, not just being right.  Understanding is a growing line that is never a straight line, but it is riddled with turns.

And when presented with facts, and presented with observations sometimes you’re wrong or sometimes you’re right and the other party is wrong. Thats real understanding, I saw this photo of a little girl crying and behind her was this devastated building. Her soul was crying her parents, her family were dead. She had no hope that tender heart was hurting so bad. That image haunts me, that truth hurts me. And I know my understanding of so-called life, so-called the great unknown pretty much falls apart because I will have no answer for that girl. I know as a father, as a parent there is nothing I could share with her that could remove her inconsolable suffering. No prayer will amount to much for that broken child. Men are to blame, humanity is to blame, the correction lies there all over our species. My understanding is pointless to her. That is my understanding. 

All praise to the Unknown. I seek forgiveness for all Men who are ignorant raging with greed. Humanity must not hurt its own for ideologies. For that too is limited Understanding. I hope she finds peace, for humanity’s peace resides in the same shambles. All Praise to the Unknown.
