   Life is like

an enclosure

surrounded by two walls

that run on two

parallel, neverending sides

and one side is

good.

and one side is

bad,

and life - life is in the middle.



You can walk from side to side

forever,

yet the two walls shall remain there.



It is only when you climb a wall,

and stand on the

TOP,

and see life all around you,

that you can completely, wholly

understand it.



Once you have gazed upon life,

you can decide which wall to jump over,

which wall to just stand on,

or as most people do,

to remain between the two walls,

cautiously in the middle.
