There are questions that I can find no answers to, not the big life and world altering questions, I have given up on finding those answers or even asking those questions. It's the small things, the things that effect one's life. 1) Where is the "love me until" expiration date stamped on our bodies? Is it in a place on our hairline that we ourselves can't see? Is it a bar code that only our lover has the scanner to so that when the time is up they can say you've reached your shelf life ? 2) What exactly does " I never meant for this to happen " mean? Was there some cosmic event that took place leaving them no choice or control? At that moment was the earth's magnetic force so strong ( on just that situation ) that they were catapulted into a place and situation that they never meant to be in ?Alien abduction, Cupid's bad aim, booze, drugs, memory loss, I suppose there are so many explanations other than a choice was made. And if, on the outside chance that it wasn't any of those uncontrollable things, a choice was made how did they not mean for it to happen? 3) Who's feeling are they trying to soothe with the line " I never meant to hurt you? I guess it takes the sting out of it as long as they didn't mean to hurt us. It may have hurt a little bit if they hadn't explained that they didn't mean it, but then it just happened and they hadn't meant that either. And as long as they didn't mean to does that eliminate their accountability for our pain?4) What are the fundamental differences between men & women? Other than the obvious, testosterone levels, being able to stand while you pee, pregnancy & childbirth, what are the differences that make us view the same exact event in 2 completely different ways? 5) Is it really better for your lawn if you mow it in different directions? I see women mow their lawns in very much the same way I mow mine, mow to get it done. I have watched men mow their lawns, one week horizontally, the next vertically and then the next diagonally. I have asked the question why? I always get the same answer "it's better for the lawn", I have yet to receive an answer to the question how is it better for the lawn? 6) Why do some people want us to look at the lawn once they've finished mowing it? It looks pretty much the same, the same grass just shorter, I pretty much can recall what it looks like without having to go out and look at it again. What's wrong with my plan on mowing? do it, get it done as fast as possible, put the mower away go inside and pray that your heart doesn't explode from the exertion. I follow those steps religiously, never deviate from the plan, and don't stop to admire the shorter grass, and don't tell anyone else to go look at it, well probably because I pretty much can't speak by that time, but still it's just shorter grass isn't it?
6) Can you really start over again at almost 50? I know, I've read the stories too how people have found love in mid life and beyond, but really how often does it happen? Are all the stories we've read the only time it happens? Is it like airplane crashes and car wrecks? An airplane falls out of the sky and the world hears about it every time because of the mass devastation, a car crashes and well it's usually just local news, if that, because it happens everyday. We don't hear or read about every love affair that starts, but a lot of attention is given to those that start after a certain age ( well and before a certain age too but that's not the subject matter, right now ). So is the finding of love later in life so rare that it garners attention, what are the odds?
