We are nobody...everybody wanna be somebody

There is an old 1996 song by Ruffneck titled 'Everybody be Somebody'. The lyrics go on 'Who you wanna be...Don't you wanna be...Say you wanna be somebody.' Why I brought up this song? You will understand it a little later in this blog.
In fact, this blog is like a foot note to what i wrote yesterday about 'beginnings'. Some people thought that it was about them. Others thought that it was about me. There may be still others who I have left very confused. I owe you guys a little bit more so no one gets overly concerned about me or themselves.
I write about things that I think long and hard about and it not necessarily involves me or you. Actually, it seldom is about me. It is just my observation of things happening around all of us. I focus long and hard. When my thoughts, true or false, see a pattern in there somewhere, I start to hammer away at the keyboard. It is like I am looking to unearth something. It is my moment of feeling important. Otherwise, I feel I am no body. I know I am no body. Got that?

Beginnings have no ends...just more beginnings

Think about all the beginnings in your life and you would be surprised that there is no end to your beginning. Life starts when you are born. You begin to walk. You start to talk. Yet more new beginnings follow.
Fast forward, you grow up and meet someone and romance begins. You succeed at that and you begin life as two happily married adults. Maybe you even begin a family. Let's just say that life doesn't go on honkey dory forever and you begin an affair with someone somewhere. This is a paradigm shift in what you thought to be your ever lasting happily married life. Nothing lasts for ever so either your marriage ends; beginnings of a messy divorce. Or, say your affair goes South and begins a bitter long drawn war of whois-to-blame game. You begin to avoid phone calls and pretend you have not seen the text messages that you once looked forward to. So this marks a new beginning of sorts.
Life comes to death. Your legacy begins. Beginnings are never ending.

It is easy to forget but to forgive is impossible.

I was in the memory lanes of my yester years. Familiar faces kept coming to my mind. Almost every one of those brought back memories, both good and bad. Dated and new mixed emotions started to mess with my sleepy feelings for those faces and places. It was not long before that I realized, we as humans, find it impossible to forgive. I mean forgive as in letting go of whatever transpired back then. I am no different. To err is human so why don’t we go past that and forgive everyone and our self. It is impossible. Our painful feelings are always lurking at the back of our mind. People are so easily forgotten but never forgiven.

I am regretting the times and opportunities I lost to make amends. I don’t know if they need my forgiveness since it may be me who wronged them. It is all dead and buried in the past. Is it?

To err may be human but to forgive is really divine.
