Walking Path

walk the path of least resistance

walk the path less traveled

walk the path others walked and

learn from all their mistakes...

advice given by our parents

advice given by our teachers

advice given by our religious leaders

none of which they ever followed...

and I wonder why they think they

have the right to tell us what to do?

life is a journey...  a path if you will

taking us from one place to another

taking us from one age to another

and when we reach a point in that

journey represented by age then

we tell others how to life their life...

it is a forever cycle, passing from

one generation to another and onto

another without the slightest regard

for individual thoughts and freedoms,

we are mysteriously observant of 

what others do and marvel in the

fact they are their own boss...  and,

when we have time to think for

ourselves we learn so much more.
