The world continues to spin on it's axis, and rotate elliptically around the sun... the oceans continue to inch up onto our shores... suns still shine, hearts still beat, new children are still born... the cycle of existence continues...
The wind may move rocks, streams may wear stones to pebbles, and changing seasons may bring leaves to the knees of trees they once ornamented, but the only independent things that ever really change are the minds of men. We live, love, lose, and most importantly, we learn. With how we value education in today's world, it may seem counter-intuitive to suggest that life's lessons are moments when the world's many malices manifest. How negative, one might think? But life's infinite dualities emerge in our lessons, as our own enlightenment occurs with the equal and opposite darkening of our sense of truth... our enlightenment may, in fact, be better described as the beclouding of our senses; our minds darken, as they bring light upon the pitfalls of our life’s journey.
As I experience my own personal beclouding, I realize that comprehension/social maturity is to moments of disappointment as molecules are to atoms... The Neucleus of these atoms is, tragically, good intention... The buzz of life's electrons creates confusion, which becomes bad situation. Whether it's love life of loss, it's all eventually lost.
