"The greatest loss to mankind is that so many people, living in mediocrity come to the end of their lives with their song still in them." Apparently an artists named Tara Argall wrote that. She left it at Babb's coffee place where I went after work today. I feel like complaining about my life, but I know very well, at least I think it is anything but mediocre. I believe my life has been exceptional. If I had to relive it, yes, I would change some things, but it is a great blessing that I cannot. The desire to change those things is the trademark of Regret, who is an unwanted bedfellow. However, if Regret had never visited me, it would mean either that I had not learned from the mistakes I'd made or was an arrogant person who didn't see them as mistakes at all.
The innocent ones I see. Age does not take your innocence. It is pride. Pride can be mended. This I know. There is no such evil as there is in someone who knows and does not question something, however good that something is. It isn't faithlessness to question. It is a virtue. To have faith is to have faith enough to seek. The one that is always seeking finds the Truth. Those who decide that they've had enough, that they don't need to question anymore, they never find the Truth. The Truth is found in the action of seeking. That is what I am trying to say. When someone comes to the end of their life with their song still in them, they have not rejoiced. They have not loved.

What bloviated tune am I whistling? What kind of hypocrite am I? For me to pontificate thus, I am obviously the one who is the prideful one. However, can you not see?
