A Simple Plea
See what I see. I see a world falling around us. I see people lost and confused in the wake of a crumbling world. Morals and principle are on the verge of exstinction.
Hear what I here. I hear the sound of billions of voices crying out in the desparate struggle to find themselves. I hear the constant falling footsteps of lost souls as they wander into oblivion.
Feel what I feel. I feel the pain of the world as it dies. I feel the sorrow that sweeps like tides in the last hours of our lives. I feel the hope that once was strong, that has now faded into a great void.
Is it enough that we live our lives for ourselves only? For each and all, we are only part of a greater system. Humanity is the grid that connects the hearts of all individuals. It knows no boundaries, and knows no limits. It reaches across the infinity of time and space, connecting us all. But this web is only as strong as we make it. We often forget that we all have our parts to play in this world while we last. The time has come to build up our race, and to make ourselves more than individuals.

I am feeling a rare moment of insight and inspiration at the moment... as if my head were uncluttered by the ceaseless tangents that arise in our day-to-day lives... oh there i go again....

Just go with it.
Just go with it.
I got one of those earlier today. I started thinking about perfection, and how true perfection doesn't feel fake. Or perfection of the moment, anyway.
I had a way to say it much more eloquently but, sadly, I lost that state of mind when my brother started jumping about going on about Dungeons & Dragons.

Yeah. He loves it. He had about five of his friends over for his birthday, and they played one big game for about four hours.
Sometimes my life is like a dream--weird enough to be, anyway. Except my dreams are really weird.
