Life. And Love. And Why.

Why does Popeye keep his spinach until the finish?

Why do you catch the bug the night before an important presentation?

Why do you get pulled up for the one lapse?

Why don't we treat others the way we would like to be?

Why is 'life's-too-short' used as the reason to throw it away?

Why is bitterness all-consuming?

Why do we try to change others? People do not change. It has nothing to do with you.

Why do we live as if we'd never die?

Why does disease show up, after it's too late?

Why must it be so hard to avoid hurt, when you can?

Why do you continue to love the one who continues to cause you pain?

Why is it difficult to do the good you want to do?

Why is it easy to commit the mistakes you never meant to?

Why are you asked to 'follow' your heart? You should be 'leading' your heart.

Why don't we see that love always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres?

Love is not self-seeking, is not easily angered, keeps no record of wrongs. Why is love the theme of all songs, yet the least understood?

Why is it that what you fear the most, happens to you?

Why do you fall the hardest when you think you're standing firm?

Why do you hit the ground running when you lose your way?


Nobody said it'd be easy. Nobody said it would be so hard.
