Whatever you have going on in your life, in your world, do you ever wonder how it can stay the same?

Or is everything destined to change sooner or later?

You don’t know; I don’t know.  I don’t know is anyone knows.

Yes I do. No one does.

So if things stay the same is that a good thing for you or a bad thing?  Why do I keep asking questions to people I know are not reading any of this, ever.  Why don’t you ever read this?  Why do I write it?  Probably just for you to not read it; not ever.

I suppose there are many things that I would change if I could.  These things would change whether or not I wanted them to but I suppose I could somehow claim that it was in my plan to change them.  Take claim for something I had no hand in- that would actually be a bit of an odd twist for me.  I’m usually an honest person.  At least I try to be.

I wonder how much honesty is valued.  I wonder how much it ever was.  I mean if things turn out okay for all concerned then it probably doesn’t matter how honest anyone was in the process.  All is indeed well that ends well regardless of how that end was achieved.

Yep, that’s the ticket.

I try to teach my kids that honesty is a good thing, the way to go, the thing to do.  They say they get it but then they look at me and I wonder what exactly they might be thinking.  Do they already know that it unfortunately only matters who is left standing, who has scored the most points or runs, in the end, that really matters?

Where do you go when you need to find an honest person?  Do you go to your church?  Maybe talk to your local representative?  Nah.  How about a family member or close friend?  Boss?  Co-worker?  Teammate?  Union steward?  Teacher?  Where do you go?

Maybe you go nowhere because the need for an honest person does not exist and maybe never has.  Maybe we are all dishonest and maybe it just doesn’t matter.

So why sweat it?  Why worry if there is a bit of dishonesty about; maybe more than a bit.  Maybe that’s the way it has always been, was always meant to be.

And it may change tomorrow.  But I really kind of doubt it.

Some things were never meant to change.
