Why Was I Even Born?

When you’ve hit the brick wall, the question may arise. Why was I even born? But over time, new depth may come through. A new birth may evolve.

I want you to imagine that you have a bungee cord tied around your waist. You are flying through the air, and that bungee chord is loose and free. You are alive, fully alive. It is scary but good. Life couldn’t be much better than this.

Then all of a sudden, the bungee chord tightens. You have reached the limit of its extension, and it pulls you back. But this time, the bungee cord pulls you back completely the same length in the opposite direction. There is no gravity to slow you down. You are heading directly for a brick wall.

You smash into it with the same force you had when flying in all happiness.

You’re broken, destroyed, and you ask the same question millions of people have asked before you even existed.

Why was I even born? 

It’s the extremes that hurt the most. From the highs of happiness to the lows of misery.

You sit crumbled below the wall of a dead-end street and wonder what this life is all about.

Why was I even born?

What’s the purpose of all this?

Where’s the logic, the reason, the knowing?

Worst still are the friends and family who supposedly come to your aid and ask further ‘Why’ questions. You don’t know why, fully. You can’t even offer any explanations though they demand you do.

So they draw their own conclusions and begin to shoot the dying body.

Why do we shoot our wounded?

Because we don’t like their story. It makes us uncomfortable, and life is meant to have order, peace, and harmony. Not ditch-dwelling dehumanization like a man beaten up and left to die on the side of the road.
