I'm Fine!

So God..or the Creator..or the Powers that be..whatever we may want to call him/her/it..created a creature - MAN. What was special about Man is that he could feel and speak. It marked him different from the rest; marked him Superior.

And so Man evolved from a blabbering Neanderthal to an articulate modern day being (the homo sapiens sapiens). He learnt two words "I'm fine."

So there he is, tripping over his own toes and he says, "I'm fine."

He is drunk as an Irishman on St. Patrick's Day and stumbles through the door, falls on the floor and he says, "I'm fine."

He is spurned by a girl he loves and he says, "I'm fine."

He loses the parents who gave birth to him and he says, "I'm fine."

He loses his job and he says, "I'm fine."

He randomly thinks of dark times and spills morbidity into his interactions garbed in jokes and sattire and he says, "I'm fine."

He commits a heinous crime and is chewed by guilt but he says, "I'm fine."

He is swept by a wave of repentance and doubt every now and then, so much so he trembles at every breath, but he says, "I'm fine."

He blunders on in life and keeps telling the world, "I'm fine," knowing all the while its not the world, but it's he that needs convincing.

We are not fine. Have not been for some time now. But thats the thing about the homo sapiens sapiens. He knows in his subconscious that he is not fine. He also knows it's only for now.
