No One is Fatherless

Separated by race and culture, each having their own unique beliefs, others religions. We

all have a common hypothesis, the key to life itself. From the meaning of life to the structural

pillar that holds our beings tethered to reality. God, I believe is key to the progress of life and

without Him life is meaningless. This is Something Ive heard since childhood but was not able

to grasp till I had the ability to understand and make decisions. Like everyone who has lived

situations and circumstances both positive and negative has come to a conclusion on what they

believe is that drives them to move forward. The situation that pushed me to grasp on tightly to

my reality started around the age of 15.

The oldest in a family of two I was forced to take on a role that was ahead of my time.

After a divorce that drove my father away, I felt fatherless and every day that passed by had less

meaning to it. Becoming the pillar that would now hold up my household together, I had put my

desires, dreams and goals to the side. Around the time I turned 18, I had stumbled upon a path

that would lead me to the solutions of all my problems; meeting God to me for the first time was

an experience that till this day remains indescribable. These situations and circumstances taught

me to put everyones needs ahead of mine and in return you will be greatly compensated.

Written in our souls as humans we are forced to look after those we love; once obeying that

which is written in our souls we are all greatly rewarded. Who doesnt like rewards, after all we

are all just humans working to get paid.

Mankind has always been in pursuit of success, along with those achievements weve had

failures. Mankind, at heart, is stubborn and will always defend ones state of being both physical

and mentally. The human bodys fight or flight response is a natural example of how its written

in our DNA. Theres only a limit to what all of us as humans are capable of doing, after that limit

has been reached, we have nothing left. Leave it all in, what most people say lifes, others Gods

hands. The same difference that is divided by a thin layer of faith and materialism, ones felt yet

not seen while the other is palpable. Whatever the circumstance, all believes have concluded the

same fact, that theres always a force that gives us a boost, a helping hand, a solution to what

may seem and impossible situation. Just as simple as breathing from a scientific point of view in

order for something to give it must take or exchange.

Every action has an outcome, whether is a consequence or a reward. Do on to others as

youd like to others to do on you, words carved in my heart. My life has molded me into the

person I am today. Most have said I am humble while others patient, though very true yet even I

struggle with my inner demons. The fact being that I am only human and no human is perfect,

nor will ever be. It is the search for perfection that defies you, path chosen not actions taken.

Most People will only see the labor, but in my opinion, it is the fruit of the labor that is greatly

looked upon, by few but most importantly by God. Those that believe in God or believe in

something greater than mankind all tend to come together in one thought in times of need or

worries, that is that one is simple not alone at the time of total loneliness, desperateness, or bitter

darkness.

Much is true when someone say there is always light at the end of the tunnel. The sun

will always come out tomorrow. All words to soothe our minds and souls, though I was going

through a tough childhood it was those words that soothed my mind. The feeling of knowing

there was more to life than just cells, molecules, energy. I was able to see that which I had felt,

and that was only made possible when God brought me to His side. Taught me to be a man, and

look after others in need. To work hard for the bread that feed those I love the most. To save my

heart for someone who values and loves God more than themselves, being that our hearts are

thrones to the Almighty, so it should be respected and valued. Which took me time to realize,

that these are all things that are taught to us by, in my case being a male, our fathers.

Although many of us live our lives based on culture, believes and religions, we all come

to find that we all share a common trait. The moments our bodies and minds are in distress and

there is nothing that can relieve us from oppression, we all look up to the sky for answers. Its

that primitive instinct that has been place in us, while some try to find an origin for such feeling,

others have stumbled across the conclusion of their hypothesis. I am thankful for how my

childhood turned out to be, reaching a halt to only find that the only path left to take is forward.

Life to me is meaningless without God, and that will forever be my response, as my body and

mind struggles to evolve day by day. When I am down the only thought left is to look up to my

Father whom has always been by my side. Therefor I can honestly say I have never been father

less.
