I feel the pain in this, in which one laments that the world and life may be cruel, but the important thing to know is that we shouldn/'/t be resentful towards life because of it. We shouldn/'/t look at it as some sort of uphill battle. If anything it/'/s more along the lines of some sort of challenge that strengthens us by being so strong against us. Humanity is to live and to thrive as a human being despite the world not wishing to be as kind to us as we are to one another. We see how cruel the world can be, and in return we smile; treat another who experiences as we do with compassion as well as return to those who would seek to be as cruel to us as the world oft/'/ can be with likewise and equal or even overpowering force there as response... That feels like a beautiful bit of humanity.

Granted I may be mistaking your purpose and meaning behind this write, but I just have to say, if it/'/s the sort of cynical and pessimistic "Life is suffering and/or meaningless" then I can/'/t agree.

Thanks for the time to think. Nicely done :)

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
