I am often plagued by brief moments of clarity. Why does man obsess over what he cannot have? Why does man perpetually chase what he can never catch? Is it the never ending struggle to achieve the unattainable or is it rather the human condition that craves the constant pain and agony of disappointment? This is the question that must be, but can never be answered. This is the truest form of irony.
Is this the way the animal brain works? Always searching for what it cannot find? Can it not be said then that it is not the object for which we seek that is paramount. It is however, the journey itself. For in endeavors such as these, man can truly know himself. He can learn his limitations. He can learn how he acts in times of extreme pressure and sadness. In this self awakening, he will find his true self and therefore his path maybe shown to him.
It has been said that we only appreciate happiness because we have been sad. We can only appreciate goodness because we have known evil. If this is the case, then let us not frown upon times of heartache. Let us instead intricately examine every facet of these emotions, no matter how painful it may be, so that we may better appreciate times of brevity and happiness. Using this same logic, the person that has known the most heartache is the one that can know the most joy. Let us pray for the joyous times.
God is a God of order and balance. Both sides of the equation must equal each other. Good and bad, Yin and Yang. I have had a large amount of darkness. I am ready for the light. I have been in darkness for so long that I don't know how to enjoy the light. This is a sadness. Our world is in such turmoil and chaos that it affects every living thing. Some are more aware than others. Some are aware of the world behind the world. Sometimes I envy the ignorant.
