Life in a Void.
Sometimes I get to thinking about my future, all my hopes and dreams. I realized suddenly that, even if i had all the resources necessary for all of them, the truth is, The hourglass would run out before I got to finish that list. I find that regardless of how much I’m able to accomplish in life, that I will die with an entire world full of other things I wanted to do.
And then I start down a slightly different track, and this one kind of gets to me. You see, life, in all its abundance, is a fragile thing. One misstep, and you can accidentally stomp out the life of a flower or even of a bug, A careless second driving down the road can spell the end of a squirrel, or a cat, or some poor dog. The body is delicate, but even these creatures have their own methods of survival. The flower’s roots may live on still to sprout anew, the bug is small enough to avoid death by stomping, and even the squirrel, the cat, and the dog are gifted with high agility and senses. It would be one thing if all deaths were accidental, but every day people are found that are finding ever evolving methods to actively destroy life. I think that anyone that goes through a day should be grateful just to have lived to see its end. Because in just a second, anyone can be in the wrong place at the wrong time. They could be hit by a car, have a bad fall, something could even fall on them, many even have the absurdly bad luck to end up in a building at the same moment as a lunatic with a gun, or worse. Now back to my original point: When you look at all the terrible things that happen each and every day, danger truly can be around any corner, and by some strange twist of fate, or accident, your life can be erased, I wonder if I’ll even live long enough to see any of my dreams come true. I suppose the reason everybody isnt afraid to leave their house in the morning is nothing short of an evolutionary response to prevent us from being paralyzed with fear all the time. Strange, isnt it?
