Can anyone tell me?

Can anyone tell me about today?
Do we face an eternity of seeking perfection or are we already perfect in search of pity that we may only see whats convinient for us at the moment?
How is it that we can harbor a hatred so deep and carry in the other hand a so called righteousness of holier than thou?
Maybe this keeps the earth spining on its axis. A chaos of static masses penetrating the cerebral existance of a greater good. Here i thought it was love all along. You kow the kind that you feel when you come home and you see that loyal pooch waggin his tail, knowing that no matter how your day went he still happy as hell to see you. The Kind you feel when you step inside and see that person your just destined to be with. The one that shows you love and takes you to heaven with just one kiss. Or when you look into the eyes of your child and love every breath they take, wish they could grow to be better than you ever were. Taking their tiny hand in yours and holding it like your life depended on it. Or that rebellious teen that no matter how many piercings or tattoo's or pink hair, yuo know they're great kids and they love you even when they say they hate you. Is it that love that makes tomorrow worth waking up to? Is it a cliche? How about simplicity then? The simplicity of a snap shot of your favorite park at sunset. The sounds of the creek in your backyard or the birds that keep you up at night. Maybe the smell of the coffee shop down the road or the sound of your alarm clock reminding you how waking up this early sucks. How can we therefore live if we constantly wish to be someone else or somewhere else other than where we are. Dreams, goals, wishes may tie up with the same thread, so that leaves us with "to each his own". So be it. I dream, set goals and wish, but i'll be damned if i'd take things any other way. So if life decides to throw a right hook, a swift kick in the ass is indeed due. Peace sells? sure it does. But i'm left wondering, can anyone really tell me about today? I sure ass hell hope so.
