crazy love

the meaning of life
is love
and it's not as sappy
as it sounds.
it doesn't mean
that you have to
embrace assholes
for the sake
of embracing assholes.
simply put,
it means that we are all
closer than we think.
together, we are whole.
as one,
we become stronger.
there is unity in togetherness.
love doesn't mean
casual acceptance
of the guy
who cut you off
on the freeway,
almost causing you to crash.
it just means that
that guy has gone through
quite a bit of shit in his life
as well- he just doesn't get
the point that you have too.
so it is a matter of educating
one another on the finer points
of existence:
we come from the womb
to be placed in the earth-
the trick is what you learn
between those two points.
so the next time you're cut off
on the freeway,
flip that bastard the bird.
it shows you care
about his learning experience.
or just smile.
