LIFE
Life is the worlds way of saying you're here for a purpose, Or so that is what I was taught. I look at it as someone's way of a cruel joke especially when someone you knew that was a close friend of yours that was a man that strongly believed in Christianity dies at a young age and his own parents having to out live their own son and watch their own offspring die before they do. Yes I know many that would look at this and if they knew me they would think I was making fun of Christianity because I am a pagan. But today I was hit in the face with a realization and no I am not trying to drag Christianity through the mud but one thing that pisses me off about the world is why in the hell should a parent have to out live their own kids. I mean if you look at the world today and compare it to the world when such things as samurai and shinobi's did live. You will notice that you have more people dieing today than you did back then because back then children were taught how to handle weapons when the parents deemed the child old enough that they should learn how to protect their families, they were also taught to always honor their village whether it be as small as only 50 people living there or 50,000 people they were taught that you should only bring your family nothing but respect. Today's world has changed dramatically kids are no longer brought up to respect their elders all the time nor are they ever taught that you should only bring honor to your family.
Over Labor Day weekend of 2009 I lost a friend, a enemy, a sensei, and someone who was loyal to most people; to him being shot in the chest.
