Some aspects of my life

I have dedicated my life to comprehend the agreement within the majority group of people.
I assumed that it would be the basis of moral conduct.
If I could conform to this standard; I could be accepted as one of them.
It seemed like a logic way to think.

Next I had to understand myself in entirety.
Who I am, what I believe and what I feel.
Do I have a noble purpose and how far am I of that.
I discovered an individual, far removed from this group agreement.

I found that I am ethical and that I care for those around.
With a great shock I observed that they where hardly aware that I am there.
My thoughts expressed were viewed to be excessive and complex.
The penalty was that I appeared to be alone in this direction.

It was clear that this group made rules and other decisions without much thought.
I discovered that the majority view most things incorrect and incomplete.
Their solutions captivate humans, forcing them to become something that does not think.
At the top of this chain, clear to see, leaders quite insane.

I have pushed my being to conform to their guidelines, but found flaws in most of them.
I have considered their religions, but sadly found it inconsistent and hard to believe.
Most of what people followed was so severely incorrect, that I could not join their group.
From my view point, to some degree, most were about financial gain.

Today again, I have tried to align with this group agreement.
I contemplated how I would achieve it, and then set out to make it real.
As you can sense I was unsuccessful, for I could not part with some of me.
It was like a tower of cards that collapsed each time I removed a part.

So sadly I will remain alone for a while, I have not found a complete and solid friend.
I will surround me by people, each to handle a specific need.
I’ll treat them with pure intent, love and with understanding; not shake what is real to them.
I’ll teach them the “as-is” conditions of life; in the process change the group to be a friend.

Life is a complex thing to master.
It is not good enough to just experience it, because you have to play a part too.
There exists a bond between each and every human.
It would be foolish to neglect this fact.

Every action and decision has an effect on that which surrounds it, like ripples on a pond.
Every word initiates a chain of events that will touch things you have not considered.
If one can not anticipate these effects, it is best to do or say nothing at all.
People are so out of control, that anything could cause an uncalculated effect.

How responsible are we for the wars, or any other insane thing done by anyone.
Yet, people complicate things further by introducing complicated variables to this equation.
Only when one knows all of the law, moral code; then one can make sound decisions.
We can only handle life with what we know and understand, surely!
