The Glory

We all want something, it's said we all have our price. That maybe true. Reading that you're imagining what it is you want, what you'd give. Trade and barter with in order to get your desire.
Our lives are built upon the notion we are doing, living and being for something more, for something greater and more... meaningful perhaps. We all try to make our lives into something 'purposeful'. Quests for peace, for fortune and fame.
The world is so angry, people are so hostile. Everyone's searching for something more, something better, a light, a glimmer of hope in the overwhelming and daunting darkness of simply existing. I physically hate this world for what it is. There's no escaping it. I detest what we are, what we do. The frivolous actions of society, mending a broken system built upon lies and deceptions, hiding the chaos and the destruction underneath us all. I have nothing against this need and necessity for having more, for believing in more, for faith in better. I know how scary and how simply heart tearing it is to have no meaning, no purpose or existence. Because that is what life is. It's nothing.
You'd call me a pessimist of even a manic depressive, mentally problemed and in all likelihood sociopathic. But my outlook on life is simple, it's effective. I don't believe you can't MAKE something of life. The only purpose you'll get out of life is what you put into it, the only meaning you'll have is what you impose onto it. Reason to live is your choice, your control and question to answer. You shouldn't expect your life to be lived for you, because it will never happen. The only person who will have any weight and responsibility for your life is you. It's your freewill and actions which make your life something.

 A great person once said "live, or die. but don't poison everything".

We all take our little victories from life, getting through the day, finishing a small puzzle, resisting that one more piece of chocolate. These are things that are so overlooked, you all believe them to be trivial, but they couldn't be more beautiful. That small little consequence of your sheer will and power of self is stunning and you should give it more worth, more weight. We've all been told at one point or another to look at the 'big picture'. But you know what makes that big picture oh so much more beautiful? The details, those little 'insignificant' things, small happenstance occurrences which will make that picture truly awe inspiring. The urge, the need, the thirst to live is simply delightful.
That sunset, that handmade card, that little post-it note, the plant on the windowsill, that scent of a place, the shine of a light. Our lives are filled with gorgeous moments we would love to share with so many people, but we have to realise, everyone experiences something beautiful, no matter how infinitesimal, the small, the big, the trivial, the serious.

We're all spinning at a phenomenal speed, but how about you stop, just occasionally, stop, and think.
