What's the breaking point?

[Mark A Becker]

When I move to another town next month, I'm gonna be paying my own rent and all the other stuff you need to live. I'm pretty sure it'll mean something new to me by then. 

Good. Being responsible for one's self is a big step toward caring for others. I guarantee that it will mean something new to you, and I wish you the best of luck.

The poem that started this thread ends on a (sorta) hopeful note.  I have read a lot of Langston Hughes, and much appreciate his perspective.  He opened my eyes to many things that I did not notice, that were right in front of me. 

Did it make me a better person?  I doubt it, but it widened my field of view.

I know that America is a very messy place, and I also know that I am responsible for some of that mess.  As I've gotten older, I have tried to be responsible for myself, and those around me.  I do not always do a very good job of it.

These questions keep arising.

Isn't life but one question asking another?
