And, the rants… here they come…

Life with love

Life with family

Life with trust

Life with no lies

Life with no hatred

Life with no violence

Life with peace

Life with no pain or suffering

I wish life could be like this.

Only some things have come true for me.

I have a life with love, family, trust.

My family doesn’t cause me pain or suffering.

I wish life could be without violence.

Hatred or Pain.

If life was really this way.

Everyone would be happy and live in peace

And harmony.

Then and only then would the world be in paradise.

Why can’t we live in peace?

Should we blame Adam or Eve for the way the world

Is today?

Or should we blame ourselves?
