Can I do as I please?
Then what is fate?
When I am born
In poverty, nothing to eat
What is hate
My colour, my creed
Why I am bait
To zealots and pure ones
In my state
Would you feel free
Tell me?

Yes. Dictated by the church/temple/synagogue/mosque. Largely a myth, sold to us, to give us the illusion of autonomy. — YUR

Big questions…….and something I ponder often. How is it that I live a relatively safe and comfortable life, while others suffer so much. I’m not sure we will ever find the answers, but I do believe that asking questions is the gateway to truth.

I agree, unless we ponder, how can we even think about looking at possible answers 😊
