Question
Reading other people’s questions…
Reading answers to others…
Understanding, searching, finding
Opening our eyes…
Lying to be seen…
Afraid to live
Not knowing…
Misdirecting anger
Destroying everything in our path
Expecting things from others
Being a fraud
Wanting to disappear…
Not die
Dying is too easy
And leaving others with the pain of absence
But disappearing
Because where there is life, there is hope
Hope for others
Not killing hope for others
But no longer hoping for anything from ourselves… for ourselves…
Cécile
Answer from Master Kosen
Cécile, you really are a poet. You are truly sensitive, a keen observer, and intimate with yourself. But you must love others through the love you have for yourself. That is not selfishness; loving yourself is the hardest thing.
Happy New Year.
