Mysteries of Life

You know, I have started to realize that life holds many mysteries. I don't even begin to have any understanding of them at all. I don't understand why children go to bed hungry in this Nation or any other Nation for that matter. I don't understand why a child gets a terminal disease like cancer, heart diseases, or diabetes. In the late 80's, I was inside of a countries borders where 7 & 8 year old boys were armed with AK-47 assault rifles and were members of this countries Army......I did not understand this!!! Was this Nation so in need of military personnel that it could not wait until they turned 18! I have seen many things in my life that I just simply did not understand. I don't understand animosity and tensions among family members.....when your family is all you have in this world. They are the only ones who will ever care about how you are.....or.....what you are doing....or....how you are getting by in this life. You really cannot afford that silly shit with them. I often wonder why it is that some family members will give to a complete stranger quicker than they would one of their own in a time of crisis or need. I know that I am not like that at all! You are the luckiest of people if you even have a family that is close; and the members are all still living. I don't understand how people get so caught up in their lives that they cannot extend a helping hand to someone in need or they cannot see the inner pain of a person who is reaching out to them. These things are all mysteries to me.
