Samuel Beckett said

Samuel Beckett said, “You’re on Earth. There is no cure for that.”

Buddha said, “All life is suffering.”

John Lennon wrote, “All you need is love.” 

Paul Westerberg screamed, “We’ll inherit the Earth, but we don’t want it!”

And I get sick of the new method of just loving the people closest to us.

Even Jesus was quoted as saying. “The poor will always be with us.”

Of course he said a lot more positive things about love and compassion. 

But the futility is well established. 

We, who love anyway know that all WE need is love, but that our efforts have failed

and we continue to love.

Can’t stop.

Won’t stop.

Right up to our collective dying breaths.

And

we will fail

but it is all we know.
