As I sit and ponder, My mind begins to wander, here are my thoughts:

Mainly at night, as I look at life, "What is it?"

Is destiny just everything between life and death, or are we put in the positions of predicaments for a purpose:

Are poor single mothers and fathers given such a path so they may teach their children to live a lonely life; or,
to show them how to get out of that life?

Convicts, are they truly meant to receive life in prison; or, learn the essence of change, and share that wisdom?

Gangsters and thugs, call them what you will, are they only to have a short life consisting of death and sorrow; or, come out of the grind so they may one day return to help change the places and people of which they came?

Are those with clinical depression meant to remain on a medication for the remainder of their days; or, are they to learn that the deepest of pain allows one to truly appreciate joy?

These are just a few of the things I contemplate as my mind wanders, while I sit and ponder.
