Is Anybody Out There?

Is anybody out there?

Why are there so many lonely people in a world of billions of people?

Why is there so much hate in this world?

Why do some people derive pleasure from belittling others?

Why is it that some of the cruelest people in the world sit in church pews every Sunday morning?

Why do children suffer so much in this world?

Why?

Why?

Are there any answers that would satisfy?

Is there anybody out there that truly cares for people without having ulterior motives?

Sadness. Despair. Sorrow. Emptiness. Numbness.

Why do innocent people suffer?

Why do morally bankrupt people prosper?

Questions that some people will answer with analysis, statistics, religion, et cetera and so forth.

Do we ever heal from the scars of our childhoods?

Why can’t people just be kind?

Why can’t people just keep silent when they have nothing uplifting to say?

Can broken hearts ever heal?

Empty.

Void.

Darkness abyss.

Sadness.

The world is spinning and I wonder if anyone is listening (reading) my words.

I doubt it.

Doubt.

Lonely planet.

Just some random thoughts.

I am a published poet and short story writer. I have been published in SNHU's the penmen review. https://penmenreview.com/author/jenny-andrews is the link where you can find my poetry and a short story. Currently, I am writing a collection of short stories, and a collection of poetry. I am trying my hand at writing a novel. Well, not a novel, actually. Make that two novels. My passion is writing. My inspiration is Franz Krafka because he managed to see the absurdity of life. Life is all about perspective and who is telling the story. We all see this life through the lens of our experiences. Literature should inspire us to think, to analyze, and to get lost in unfamiliar worlds in which we learn something new about this human existence. It is my hope that my writing challenges the reader to think, and to see a different perspective, as well as be entertained. My faith in Jesus strengthens me and gives me the courage to survive the twists and turns of this life. My faith influences a lot of my writing in that goodness always triumphs over evil, in that love conquers all. I hope you enjoy reading my blog.

  1. Because you care enough to ask the questions, I am pleased to know that someone is listening, and that someone is you. It’s good to know that I am not alone in wondering the same questions, and I am a minister. But, I believe that evil will not have the last words. I have to.

    1. Same here. I have to believe that good will triumph over the evil in this world. Yet, I despair when I think about just how much unnecessary suffering there is and how kindness could simply alleviate that suffering. Maybe I am too simplistic in my reasoning, but love is the only path to peace. Thank you for reading my words. Please pray for my husband. He is in stage 4 cancer. Thank you.
