Do you understand?

In a sense, we are all sick. The world is sick. And I don’t always know how to deal with it. I feel trapped. Don’t know if I should be angry. Or more compassionate. More understanding.  At the same time, I love life. And despise life, too. What am I to do? I ponder that question all the time. For me to fully appreciate and savor life, I have to find ways to survive and thrive. Do you understand? -Jim Broede
