Breaking Point

Human spirit can endure the most amazing things... we hear stories of impossible survival and feats of super human performance I know even I have found in life's trials and tragedys I am stronger than I ever thought I would be...but what makes that breaking point to where the spirit just stops trying?

When life deals you punches in such a frequent rate you find you've fallen to the ground and have little care of rising up from it all. When you find the doctors news regarding the latest test isnt the hopeful diagnosis you'd been wanting ....when you find what you thought was your true love finds his own love in someone else... when you work hard at something your whole life and
in course of a day.. forces you have no control over blow in and leave you with little left.. when you give your heart away only to find .. its not wanted. How does the human spirit take such pains and push through to a brighter day?

Is it faith? Is it how were raised? Is it our genetics?? What drives us to keep going when every thought in our heads tells us to quit? What drives you in the dark times to keep a bright outlook! Ive had two people in my life ...take their own life due to sorrows they found unable to cope with... Ive seen how it solves little and leaves even more pain. Life is pretty low at this point and a quick fix to escape it all for good might sound good in theroy but I think theres a
little human spirit yet left to push through and do my best to prevail for brighter times.. but it
just leaves me curious.. what sparks that human spirit in others ???


Todays Poem:

Darkest days suspend thy head
banish thoughts its easier dead
hard times come.. but hard times go
and better days.. you'll have to show

lost at love and it sure smarts
but with every ending there's a new start
friends rally and do their best
to cheer and enourage and ease the stress

Human spirit is alive and thriving
pushing the darkness to brightness surviving
darker days might reign on this day
but tomorrow's news.. " It'll be okay!"

Thanks for reading

Rosa, sometimes it's not so much spirit as just plain plodding along on the journey, with the expectation of a new, better vista just around the next bend. Sometimes you can't get off a particular road right away, but that doesn't mean you can't have a destination in mind.

Sorry for the labored metaphor ;-) but it's true enough: sometimes it just takes pure jackass stubbornness and endurance to get through.

often it's just the knowledge that something better is just around the bend and all I need to do is reach it.
