It's currently 6:59pm. Ironically, I begin this post with a minute to spare, as time is forever moving forward. It's incredible how a single minute can be an eternity, or it can be less than a second. In one second, I could tell you a word that would encapsulate an emotion, such as anger, or love, sadness even. When we begin to deconstruct things, like an emotion in such a trivial conjunction of letters, it almost devalues the meaningful impact of the emotion itself. Much like our notions of morality in a world so uninterested in our very existence. Reality, I like to believe isn't as 'real' as we so proudly like to shout. How if the horrors of truth, were to be spoken to the average man, would make him blubber and crumble like the very feeble and weak pounds of flesh he represents. Oh they shout, how one without empathy should be shunned! Oh how they should be weary of these evil creatures! Every day, people are butchered, are torn, are violently molested. Humanity should not avert their eyes, at these heinous acts, but they should watch closely. Humanity should be held a mirror, in hopes they acknowledge it's abhorrent face. In many dreams, I wish that we would choose to realize the evil within, in hopes of changing ourselves to truly see what we are. On the other hand, should we see the evil, we may agree that it was, in fact who they were all along, and decide it's what humanity is, evil, monstrous, and forever a plague on the cosmos. It can be too much, too much sadness, too much apathy, too much to even try. I guess we'll see.
