Alike?

Blog 278:

We are alike …

You and I have aches and pains
We have satisfactions and disappointments
We’re at times ecstatic
In some point and time, we are miserable
We are idle
We are full of energy
There are days we are anxious
Many more days we are content
Melancholy visits us
But so does cheer …

Whatever is in front of us isn’t all that important 

We face it with either courage or cowardice
We approach it with apathy or enthusiasm …

What’s on the other end of each circumstance?

Unless we explore each side of a situation
Lest we accept or reject a circumstance with conviction
Surely, we’ll never know its impact!
 
You and I are alike
What separates us is our head-on response!
