Stronger, tougher, faster and smarter: the world's measure of superiority. The revered qualities are those of "survival of the fittest" and nothing more. Our world cherishes only that which is doomed to perish, forsaking who we are in the hopes of gaining for what we are.
Steadfast, justified, compassionate and sincere: the measure of a man's spirit. The world only knows us as animals and shall have it no other way. If we are to be truly human then we must strive, individually, to be more than the paltry sum of our mortal parts.
Why does the way of the world fail? Because it does not care. Indifference is uninspired so how can it inspire? Need I tell you that the smirk of pride is not a smile of joy? There is no meaning in heartless ambition or callous ideals because they have no heart. Worldly accomplishments are doomed to fade away for entropy is swift and sure. Life endures by the power of truth, not by our fickle whims and dishonest notions. Be true or you shall stumble. Make lies your refuge and you shall fall and never rise again.
Humanity shall fail... because it has done so already. Our species is diabolical for we are a race of monsters. The every imagination of the thoughts of the human heart is only evil continually... unless an individual strives for better. One man only. One woman only. All that ever mattered came from the sincerity of only one. Be that one. Peace Be With You.
I have always known that individuals are what make the difference. The majority will always be either heartless or indifferent. They live and die and nothing changes. And there will always be more to take their place...
ReplyDeleteExactly! Our society uses the word "special" flippantly. If everyone is "special" then even those who make no effort to do anything worthwhile are "special." We all know better than that. Only those who care to make a difference make a difference. Everyone else is insignificant and just along for the ride.
