How Would I know ?

How would I know what is happening and what I should do. I would know by my experiences, I know I worked in retail for twenty years or a similar field. I know I have seen pyschiatrists for 35 years and been in hospital a few times. I know I have travelled around Australia and the world a few times. I know this because I have done it. I also know that I have read 1330 books because I remember reading them and wrote them down after I read them. I also remember reading The Bible 280 times because I put a little mark in the Bible everytime I read it once more. We know, learn and live from our memories and experiences, just like I am writing this now from what I have learnt, know and remember from my experiences. How would you know, you would know the same way, from what you have done, from what you have learnt and what you have been taiught by reading writing and remembering what has been said from what other people have told you, that is how I know to, all that is called experience.

Experience is a wonderful thing, it gets us in and out of trouble, it leads and guides the way from memories of what we know and past experiences of doing things and going to different places. It gives us a broad skope of horizons to pick and choose from for the future and it also keeps us safe from harm after we have learnt that if I tough a hot element on the stove I will get burnt, sure we were told that by our parents, but us dummies still have to learn that lesson the hard way for ourselves, don't we. If we listened to the wisdom of the ages we would have been a lot smarter and better off for following those wise instructions.

We know we went to school but still after a few years in the public bar, we forget everything and have to relearn everything again that we had forgot from our frivolities in drinking so that we have some knowledge and skills on literature and history and all that other good stuff that we learnt at school and forgot, back to the books again and we learn that geography was a very good idea rather than burying our heads in alcohol. Like throwing sand to the wind it comes back and gets in our eyes and we lose focus on the simple facts of reality and what sense there is in the wisdom of life, death and money become appealing till you are caught in such a bind that it is nearly an emergency that you are simply struggling to grasp another breath of air, life giving oxygen which we seem to want to take for granted. We forget simple things like photosynthesis which is plants breathing in carbondioxide that we breathe out and expiring oxygen for us to breathe in.

These are the simple sources of life that we all need and while others are still stuck in the pub getting blind drunk to all these essentials on life abnd what a waste of money it is to, lose your sense and your money to, where is the value in that but ending up in hospital the next day if you so lucky to be saved in time by that. I can remember every place that I have ever been, but it does not come back to my memory quick enough in time to put it all down in one sentence. Those things are treasured memories which you can talk about over the ages left and still to come. Write your life story and you will be remembered for that if you can find or get enough people to read you, I might one day in the years to come. How would you know? we all have different experiences on life, you are alive aren't you, you know that, which is a pretty good place to start for the rest of your life.

Trying to survive and stay sane, is just the daily grind of work efforts to conform to society and maintain being safe, after my last page, I hope that I have not lost the plot again but that I am assured of my salvation, working myself into a rutt or blocked frame of mind, lets hope we have all got over that by now. I know I can't do life alone, I need you out there, my readers to assure me of that. How would I know? these are a few ideas I thought about that I think you should know to.
