Is this life-play pre-staged –
reservations made in childhood
when fun constituted priority,
and drama thrived, unchecked
by adults, bemoaning authority,
too self-absorbed to conceive
consequences beyond jest?
Or did some karmic assessment
initiate the unfolding –
social standing, and needs
prescribed as lessons,
dependents selected as inspiration,
and if so, is there a contract
revealed upon ultimate exit
or a certificate of completion
securing passage upwards?
I love this! A certificate to be here and another to leave 😏

Well-written, VJ. Of course, all my beliefs concerning the answers are Bible-based–“blessed assurance” 🙂

I’ve pondered that myself. This quote came to mind, “The two most important days in your life are the day you were born and the day you find out why.”

As Poe said, Is all that we see or seem but a dream within a dream?
