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.
