We know this though we forget…

The jump-off line is from the poem Nothing Wants to Suffer by Danusha Lameris. 

We know this though we forget. We know that abduction of children occur even in advanced developed countries. We know that there might not be a tomorrow but we feel confident that there will be one for us. 

We know this though we forget. We think that we will always have who we have even though we know they can leave, can leave us any moment for whatever reasons. 

We know this though we forget. We know that women are by nature prey to men. 

We know this though we forget. Reality is not set in stone but constantly shift with memory and perception. 

We know this though we forget. We might not continue believing what we believe in now. We might but it is not guaranteed. 

We know this though we forget. We always take ourselves to be more constant than we really are. 

We know this though we forget. Whatever suffering we have, there are bound to be someone who suffers worse. 

We know this though we forget. No one can have it all. 

We know this though we forget. You can’t plan for everything. 

We know this though we forget. There are words but then also attitude, meaning and subtext. 

We know this though we forget. Luck runs out. 

We know this though we forget.
