Life (A Bag Full of Joy & Misery Combined)

Which would you rather have?

Yet pick only one

A Bag Full of opportunities

To experience joy by all means

Or A Bag Full of misery

To curse all your days

Existing as a person believing

A doomed fate prevails

In more ways than one

After being blindfolded

And reaching into a Life Bag

Of Undiscovered Mindsets

Where Joy & Misery are Combined

Suspended in time are

A bag picker's chances

Towards inheriting a stratosphere

Of biased proportions

Blooming clear within

Their loud sense of consciousness

Heard without experiencing any personal fear to date

The title of this piece caught my attention and the words that followed did not dissapoint. So many people feel that they are victims of fate. They don't acknowlege that they have a choice in the matter. It's all about perception. Everything is about perception as this piece so wonderfully implies. Well done.

It is true, we have the ability to choose what baggage we carry, but sometimes it is difficult to sort through the suitcases and put them in correct order. Things get muddled along the way, and we find ourselves in a mire of sorts; confused. I've had nightmares, and I've had dreams, but the nightmares seem to be the things I remember most vividly.

I rather enjoyed this one, my friend. You have a great way of opening up the soul and showing something completely unique and different. Stand out in that crowd!

Again.. Would we have the ability to recognize one without the other?

Some nightmares and misery are truly indescribable. I'd classify most of my twenties as such. And if I had gotten my way.. I would have left this life sometime in them.
But, I didn't. Something else prevented that.
I am able to look around me now in my life and realize that I am truly lucky in all that I have and the people who love me, the new doors that have opened and dreams I have and am realizing.
I survived the bag full of misery and now have moved on to my bag full of joy. Did I earn it ? Meh, who knows. But I am enjoying every minute of it. :)

-grin-

So I guess I picked both at different pivotal points in my life. Did I cheat? :D

Had me thinking with this one. :)
