Lines On A Face

Lines on a Face

(A Philosophical View of Life's Journey)

The lines on a face are like a recorded history of life.

They are the tracks that teardrops flow down, and hold ages of wisdom and

knowledge.

The lines on a face are not simply a sign of the body aging.

It is a great portrayal of the "self".

As we grow old as individuals, we gain ideas and awareness of the world around us.

The lines, show character. They dissolve any idea of time, because

we can not re-visit history, to stop the process of getting older.

So we go forward, and the lines on a face develop, and our faces show

our life journey.

Some people have an easier life journey than others, and some people struggle

to find a place in the world, where they can be a learner or a teacher.

Learners are those whose lines show a zest for knowledge, whilst teachers are

those whose lines show a passion for giving wisdom to others.

This, of course, is simply my own personal view, and outlook of the world around me, and how I perceive

my long progression, from childhood; to the man I see every time I look in the mirror.

At present, I do not have lines on my face, but I like to consider myself

reasonably wise.

However, not everyone can seem knowledgeable; as some people keep what they know to themselves. As their knowledge is hidden within them.

The lines on their faces can also be unseen, as they appear younger to others than they are. Age and life do not always show.

Yet we all have lines on our faces. Just because we can not see them, it does

not mean that they are not there.

It is paramount to the human psyche and development that we learn as we grow.
