Exploring Happiness #33- Reasons



There are reasons
why he is bold
and she is shy,
why she is strong
and he is weak.

It might be genes,
or family dynamics
or even trauma.

The complexity
of human behavior
is a compelling mystery
worthy of individual
and collective
discovery.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
No human being is born good or evil, aggressive or shy. There are always reasons why each of us has developed in a particular way. We may not always be aware of those forces which have propelled us in a certain direction, but if we review our past we can sometimes become aware of some of the reasons that have been instrumental in influencing our choices.

Knowing those reasons is important so that we may free ourselves from destructive unconscious patterns rooted in the past, and ensure that only the conscious constructive choices which benefit our lives will guide us in the future.

When a man begins to understand himself,
he begins to live. When he begins to live
he begins to understand his fellow man.
Norvin Mcgranahan

The noblest pleasure
is the joy of understanding.
Leonardo Da Vinci
