Why is it that people come into our lives at one time.. just to leave it sometime later without so much as a warning?

I don’t mean acquaintances or lovers.. there are always plenty of good reasons for them.

I mean people that just pop in out of the blue one day.. turn your existence upside down, mash up your mind.. and then just leave, out again into the abyss from where they came without a word.. what did their stay in your life mean? What was it all for? Is there a cosmic reason and if so.. what is it??

Some people’s lives are touched for a reason by these “ghosts”.. solace in a moment of need for instance. In this case it’s a great help to the person in question and the ghost takes on another name.. “Angel”.

But when it happens for no apparent reason other than to just confuse the hell out of you and set you back then… WHY??

When you’re busy going about your business and perfection suddenly appears out of nowhere, makes you take notice of them, brings your mind to so many possibilities, and gives you hope.. then goes straight back out of your life again.. what’s the reason? How can God just do this?? I didn’t ask for perfection to just show up in my life.. well maybe I did.. but not to just be dangled in front of me for a few months and then be taken away again.. did I forget to mention the last part in my prayer? And, if so, shouldn’t it just be.. Obvious?

I’m trying hard to look back at this episode and find a good reason for this to have happened.. did this ghost help me in any way.. well, actually, no he didn’t.. the only thing he did in his stay in my life was refuse to authorise my credit card! Other than that he totally confused me. The only positive thing was the hope… but as we say in my part of the world.. “he who lives on hope, dies hopeless”
