| The World. What a bizzare idea. What I mean by the world is not just earth, but our being. Our mere existence and everything involved in the reality of us. It's so simple, yet it's one of the most complicated things man could ever conceive of. It's the place we're born, the place we live, the place we die. It's the only place we'll ever know of in this life. The world is not something I could ever know, or begin to understand. Too complex, too complicated. I don't want to try to understand it. It's not meant to be understood. Just gotta go with it. You live, you die, that's it. Why waste time figuring out the world when the world doesn't care if it's figured out or not. The world will be the same whether or not I figure it out. I gotta do the living before the dying comes too soon. What are we living for? Who knows. I certainly don't. I have no clue. But, what's the point in asking? Will it make my life better? Maybe. Can I do anything about it? No. We live, we die. What else is there to know? What is God? Is it a he? An it? An idea? Is he heaven? or hell? What is forever? Scary, right...When you die, you're dead forever. Not the forever that feels like sitting through the first 10 minutes of a 2-hour math lecture on a beautiful sunny 80 degree Friday afternoon. Not the forever you feel when you can't wait another second to get out from under your parents and get out living on your own. And not the forever you feel for the old man in agony on his death bed, begging for God to take his life to relieve him of his suffering. Dead is forever. Forever. Never again will you see again, hear again, live again on earth. Never see anyone, do anything. I have my ideas, you have yours. Don't presume to know me because I can't presume to know you and exactly what you're feeling. Who am I to tell another what the world is based on my life and my experiences? Can't say you know it 'till you're there living it. So accept it and move on. We're all different. And no one knows why. So, before forever comes along, we have to do our living. Learn our lesson. So, I guess we just gotta make the most of it. There are hard things in life, fun things in life, happy things in life, sad things in life. So, take what you can, give what you can. Take a few risks-you've only got one chance. We live, we die. Simple as that. |
