Conundrum Poem by J. Edward Armstrong

Fear and loathing through introspection. Why do we manifest such a conundrum in the quest for understanding. It's so human to try and find something or somebody to blame for our shortcomings and or misfortunes. In the end however we are responsible for our choices.Yes, we are a compilation of both positive and negative influences of times past. But the past in no mean dictates the future. It's prudent to use as a guide experiences but detrimental to mistake patterns as wisdom. As trying to drive a car forward using a mirror seeing where we've been rather than what's ahead, the journey faces certain doom. Be circumspect as you grow.
