Seeking Simple Solutions

They are eternal and everlasting
those questions that perplex
humankind, queried by one
generation after another leaving
each to struggle with an answer
to achieve a final response that
will put those questions and the
search for the solution to the
dilemma forever at rest. What
is the purpose of existence? ask
troubled souls unwilling to live
life to its fullest potential without
knowing why they should bother.
Why is humankind destined to
live a paltry defined lifespan? leading
to a search for a magical elixir or
readily-achieved blueprint to
guarantee long life. Then the
perennial Valentine's Day question:
how do I show my loved one in
how many ways do I love? But
if one loves another the answer is
abundantly clear and achievable.
Love as you would yourself, and
care as much as you do for yourself
and express that love in innumerable
ways throughout the length and
breadth of your lives together.
