Have you ever heard this story? (Or, am I looking into a mirror?)

"There once was a tiger-striped cat.
This cat died a million deaths and
was reborn a million times
...and was owned by various people
who he didn't care for.
The cat wasn't afraid to die...
One day,
The cat was a free cat,
A stray cat.
He met a white female cat,
And the two cats spent their days happily together,
Well, years passed by,
and the white cat died of old age.
The tiger-striped cat
cried a million times,
and then died
It never came back to life..."



I look at this and wonder.



When will it be time for me to finally let go and not be owned by anyone?



And the moment that I do, have I resigned myself to the same fate?

Am I just a being that lives a life filled with unemotional pleasures who never really lives until it finds some sort of personalized truth to hold on to?

Ya know, I hate tales like these b/c I believe GOD does do people like this. Like why would he have a (crack) baby be born, then die after only 24 hours of breathing? Maybe it was for someone to take a picture of that, then show that picture to someone, then that someone tells their kids about... and that kid never does drugs. That's deeper than most see.

Good one mane.
