Just A Thought

Man has always been drawn by the things that do not make sense to him. In the process, he brings out his own conclusions of what he fails to understand. He tries to comprehend the future when the past still baffles him, he tries to search for life in the void that is space, when diseases and illness still gnaw at the brittle thread that is his life. He portrays his discoveries with such conviction and confidence the same way men did a couple hundred years ago about the world being flat. He’s marveled by the different milky ways and universes when an adventurous journey awaits him just outside his doorstep, where he’s surrounded by such mystery as the wondrous dew and all its brilliance and its coming of existence, the melodious tune of the chirping sparrow or the mysterious sadness in the howling of a lonely wolf in the near distance.

Unfortunately this is the case with the majority of the human race. It’s as if were all infected with this psychological myopia(ic) disorder. We fail to see the things that are already within our grasps but look for things that do not exist, of empty promises of happiness and riches that never seem to satisfy us. We overlook the things that really matters that suffice our every need. We have strayed away from everything that is real and drown ourselves in plastic and scientifically enhanced flavors. Twisted is the mind of the one who realized this bizarre human behavior and even more twisted are we to be blinded by such atrocities. We search to satisfy a need that comes from within but blinded by our greed, we explore the vastness of the city with bruised knees and hands and poisoned ourselves in the name of the things that we do not understand. We float through life with only dreams of a life that can never be, of dreams induced.

To be jolted out of this lifeless sleep is to be awakened from this dream, to realize that there is a way out of this chaos that we ourselves have created. To realize that nothing is a mistake and no life is a waste. That we can look back on our journey and see that we have traveled far and that the shadows that once blinded us were only there because we had our backs towards the light the whole time.
