PHILOSOPHICALLY

A Rambling Acrostic

By Andrew C McDonaldPublished 2 months ago Updated 2 months ago 1 min read

P atiently ruminating on

H umanity and it’s meaning.

I magining: goals, dreams, ideals, intent

L ofty purposes for short mortal lives

O mniscience or Omnipotence?

S tay or Go? Wander or Homestead? Lead or follow?

O pulence - Sought or decried?

P overty - Noble or debilitating?

H ome, hearth, health … Love … Purpose …

I s there such a thing? Is mine yours? Is yours mine?

C an we find it? Should we even try?

A ll of life is seeking of answers: But, we spend it…

L ooking for what is right there …

L ike most big questions, the answers are individual

Y ou must find your own internal answer - be it truth or falsehood

Acrostic
