                          | Life... |   
                      | 
                           
                           
                            | What; 
                              in us, compels us to continue to live? To know... 
                              that any moment of any day, we could have our life 
                              stripped of us, that we could DIE any time, yet 
                              we continue our meaningless repetetive lives, as 
                              if we were going to ACCOMPLISH something. Maybe 
                              I'm being a bit conceited in saying everyone's life 
                              is meaningless, thats not quite true, but there 
                              are not many who live who will be remembered in 
                              years to come, save for maybe their closest of kin 
                              and their friends, but once they die, the memory 
                              of the original person will die along with them. 
                              Not many people are eternal, and forever in the 
                              names of everyones lips for centuries to come. There 
                              are very few of those people, and even then, they 
                              are only remembered for their contributions and 
                              accomplishments towards a society... not for WHO 
                              they were. Perhaps people do live on in an afterlife 
                              of some sort, a heaven or a hell so to speak... 
                              but how is that to be proven before we experience 
                              it? Ah, the word of God tells us this, but how is 
                              that to be trusted, must I have FAITH to believe 
                              in such atrocities? Maybe i'm to conceited to believe 
                              in that... let it be unknown, that is what i say. 
                              Live every moment as if its your last... but most 
                              people can't do that sort of thing, they are; no 
                              WE are creatures of habit. We will get up every 
                              moment and just live out our lives doing the same 
                              repetetive things, and every now and again, do something 
                              we truly enjoy. Perhaps that is how human life should 
                              be... to be at that complacent level, where we don't 
                              question things, otherwise we might be in a heap 
                              of mess. Everybody would realize, that ALL of this, 
                              is pointless. That would be a sad day in human history... 
                              everybody would stop caring, and what then? Maybe 
                              relationships will keep us going, maybe that IS 
                              what keeps us going. Relationships... benefactions, 
                              lovers, family, those are the things that drive 
                              us to work a 9 to 5... to continue living, and being 
                              happy, but is that happiness? You must be saying, 
                              this person is only 16... how would he know about 
                              life; but i've experienced it. I go to high school 
                              repeatedly, to feed off of nothing... to go to college, 
                              where i will get the degree where i will end up 
                              working my suited job for the rest of my life, contributing 
                              to society in that fashion... I've been bullshitting 
                              and ranting... I don't know... I truly don't know. |
