Title.

Are you a member of the Inquisitorious?

(A lone voice whispers)

Does Life sometimes haunt you?

Clinging securely like an unsolicited overcoat of unwanted sorrow?

Does it fit tightly like a second skin?

Do thoughts of mortality, failed dreams and hopes deeply pervade your very soul?

Does the word disappointment encapsulate most of your emotional overtures?

We all through Life can face great moments of terrible uncertainty like failure and depression.

Lost love, unemployment, family disputes.

Bereavement and more—and how we truly overcome and shake off, Life’s thick overcoat of sometimes self-imposed sorrow—renews us.

Strengthens and washes over us with the soft inner breeze of our own divine sovereignty.

Magnificence and inner power.

So if life slowly starts to haunt you, think of the happiest you have ever felt and focus on it.

Hour by hour.

For when you do, your bright Light of Hope will always seek to illuminate the creeping darkness.

Sending it back to the shadowy recesses of the mind where it belongs.

To help you cope.

For by changing your thinking, you can sometimes change your life.

As Life is immersed in deep rivers of constant duality.

With spiritual scales of justice containing essences of Light in one and Darkness in the other.

Two rivers that meet within you.

A confluence of influence.

Unseen but always there, dominating our daily lives — silently affecting us day after day.

Making us, whether we are aware of it or not.

To always feel the never-ending hum and flow of the Darkness.

It can either rule us or we can learn to conquer it with Light.

Light in the form of love, compassion, faith, empathy, kindness, and friendship.

So here's to you, smile.

For by reading to here, this is a new happy moment to renew within and feel content.

May this new confluence of new thoughts have some profound influence.

So you can be victorious and walk the road alongside us.

And be one of the rare tribes of the Inquisitorious.
