My friend, would you please define
Why you think we are all just fine?
BAD
What happens when good doesn’t make us better? Isn’t that bad?
- A good economy.
- A good job market
- Good Christmas season.
- Good outlook on the stock exchange.
Why don’t these things we call good make us better?
And what is the purpose of touting good things when they don’t internalize into human beings and transform them into dynamic individuals?
Is it possible that it’s bad when things are good?
Are we better when things are worse?
Is there a part of us that knows we’re not worthy and wants to find our own feet instead of being lifted?
I’m not sure, but I know this:
It seems to me to be bad when good doesn’t make us better.
SAD
Likewise, when joy brings no smile, is it really happiness?
If the “joy of the Lord is strength,” why does the believer frown?
If music truly brings joy, why are drugs necessary to make us high?
If being in love is actually a joyful thing, why do we spend our time lamenting our choice?
It seems to me to be pretty sad when joy brings no smile.
When a Christmas season comes and goes and we’re so engrossed in politics, impeachment, misconceptions and distractions that the carols play at the same decibel as years before—with identical emotion—yet fail to beckon our childlike spirit.
MAD
It makes me mad when the common gains no sense.
Why is it that we are trying to be the first generation to come to different conclusions than our ancestors did? Is it just so we can proclaim our uniqueness?
The Earth has been around for a long time and certainly has its ways.
Nature speaks to us.
Science teaches us.
And our human brothers and sisters join us.
It is common—but it gives no sense.
It is obvious—yet ignored.
A house divided against itself cannot stand.
But wait! Wait. Ours can.
He who hates his brother hates God.
No, no. We have a much different interpretation.
Lying is evil.
Oh, my goodness—you are so behind the times. We have discovered a way to lie and make it charming.
For there to be common sense, there must be sense we acknowledge as common among us all.
GLAD
I wonder if we’re prepared to avoid the pain by letting what is sane produce our gain.
This is the way to be glad.
Gladness is not sprinkled on us like fairy dust.
It isn’t an accidental stumbling into the hilarious.
Gladness is when the pain leaves because the sane produces gain.
Isn’t it bad when good doesn’t make us better?
I find it sad when joy produces no smile.
Are you mad when the common gains no sense?
Or are you like me?
