Gratitude makes it more tolerable

I don't know why the world is the way it is

Why we are forced to play pieces in this chessboard of good against evil

Of circumstance

Why it can be so unjust

Unyielding

And oppressive

I don't quite know why

All I know is that letting that oppression into our hearts kills us slowly

And gratitude goes a long way towards remediating that

It's a great start at least

What's worse?

Outright racism/sexism/classism/etc.

Or the killing me slowly kind

Sometimes I'm just not sure you have much of another choice

Covert

Overt

It all hurts

Don't it?

There's got to be another way.

Don't you think so too?
