an explosion of matter
atoms flung into long distances.
a nova bursts,
it eon-long existence abruptly ends.
light-years away,
its significance, negligible.
**
knowledge of tomorrow takes away a guy's hope
there's but nothing to look forward to
the two persons beside me now are:
loneliness and hopelessness
if we expect nothing from tomorrow,
we wouldn't exactly wait for it anticipation right?
our zest and hunger to live life is borne out of the knowledge that
whatever comes our way,
it'll bring about a challenge,
a significant experience to note down in life's jotter-book
hetrogeneity promises us a different future, however dark and mysterious
inanimation is stifling; it is suffocating; it chains you; it cages you
monotony sucks
bland. trite. cliched.
platitude
**
how i yearn for a dymanic, meaningful life
where everyday, i wake up, filled with adrenaline
eager to face whatever life has in store for me
where everyday, i wake up, looking out of the window
in a different climate and location
where everyday, when i leave my abode
i meet different people that'll enrich my life with their experience
**
our intellectual and imaginative resource have to be fed
but if we're traped in daily monotony and routine,
how are we able to expand the horizons of our mind and soul?
our thoughts consists of only horizontal and vertical grey lines in stasis
but in a vivacious, dynamic , vivid environment,
it has curves of every conceivable shape, in impossible colours
our imagination is fed, through our sense
they serve as funnels, channeling what we see, feel, smell, taste and hear
into our minds, enriching it, increase our sensitivity, making us fully alive
so if we wake up everyday and what we see are of the same drap contours-
similar landscapes, routine paths, familiarity everywhere
just where do we turn to seek for inspiration?
many people today, living in a plastic, artificial man-made habitat
turn to material goods to obtain pleasure-
as a substitute for the pure pleasure that can be only extracted from mother nature
yucks.
its like substituting rubber for meat
"ever felt your hair raise when u travel through a picturesque landscape,
filled with things that are in the area of the unfamiliar,
struck by the beauty and peacefulness, yet undescribable with mere words"
most people today, perhaps unaware of it, are void of life and zeal
their minds filled with self-proclaimed "knowledge"
yet their souls vapid; their hearts hollow
chase your dreams
challenge conventions
be the human being fully alive
search for the reason for your existence on earth
live life the way you want it to be.
