What's is all about, Alfie? (I blab, too much)

What's it all about, Alfie?
Is it just for the moment we live?
What's it all about when you sort it out, Alfie?

Life is definitely about sorting. I abhor bias. Age, sex, race, size, money, lack thereof, heritage, beliefs, non-beliefs.

I think we each, daily, weekly, yearly, hourly, by the minute - are trying to figure out this thing called life. And it's ok we don't have all the answers. Bias aside, I do believe aging affords "we kinda get it" moreso than in our childhood, young adulthood, child-rearing-hood. All of life's 'drops' are precious... aging is an eye opener to same.

Are we meant to take more than we give
Or are we meant to be kind?

Victor, DAMNIT, *DO NOT* mention the election here. Ok, won't.

And if only fools are kind, Alfie,
Then I guess it's wise to be cruel.

I loved loved loved Logic class in college. And while this makes "logical sense", nuh uh.

And if life belongs only to the strong, Alfie,
What will you lend on an old golden rule?

Strong is outwardly a misnomer. We see the guy in the gym, biceps, triceps, bulging. Not necessarily/absolutely so. I've known so many physically looking frail folks (folks of all sizes, ages) that are so way beyond strong it's incredible. I see friends, family, role models - and they radiate strong. Embedded in their beliefs, actions and behavior follow suit, demonstrate same.

As sure as I believe there's a heaven above, Alfie,
I know there's something much more,
Something even non-believers can believe in.
I believe in love, Alfie.
Without true love we just exist, Alfie.
Until you find the love you've missed you're nothing, Alfie.
When you walk let your heart lead the way
And you'll find love any day, Alfie

I have been in love. Have. Coupled. Perhaps that's the intent of the songwriter, dunno. I personally believe love runs deeper. I know many that clam up, cannot say that word. I 'love' the word love. Love doesn't necessitate "mad, amorous" (but of course glorious if so).. I think love should be passed out, orated, as frequently as high fives and knuckle touches.

Alfie would you tell me what's it all about?
what's it all about? Alfie, Alfie, Alfie.
What's it all about? Whats this all about?
what's it all about Alfie? tell me what's it all about Alfie? what's it all about Alfie? just tell me yeah. what's it all about?
what's it all about?

Alfie... if you ever figure it out, please share. Life is a wonder we're all "behind the wheel", "behind the keyboard", "in the family room", "on the phone", "laying in bed", "Driving to work", "meditating", "having a beer, glass of wine", conversing", "inquiring", "wondering" trying to figure it out Alfie, too.

We'll never completely figure it out Alfie.. but it's sure a fun ride, experience, trip, trying to do so. Take care Alfie, love, Victurd.
