Life or something like it....

Hey thizz-ere,

This post just stuck me while I was supposed to be studying for this exam tomorrow. Anyway I was just really thinking about the fragility of humans. My thoughts are all over the place with this one but I just really need to push these stuff out of my brain.


Glass Rocks


Have you ever felt invincible or maybe just strong as if nothing could hurt of stop you from your goal. It's something we all have felt at some point. Although we feel this way, we rarely think about how fragile our existence really is. We see it every day. Death. There's no escaping it but we find ourselves skipping over it all the time.


We can mentally build ourselves up to withstand hurt or pain but physically we are unable to block all forms of pain. For example in a war, the best soldiers and captains can easily be taken down by a carefully aimed bullet or bomb. The amount of hours spent training, working out and planning... are gone. Washed carefully down the uncloggable drain of life. There is always that 50/50 chance that if we turn this corner, if we eat this food, if we run that red light (well maybe 80/20 percent chance with this one) that we will run up on brakes and stare death straight in the eyes.


When it comes to us as humans, we tend to build walls around ourselves and within ourselves. Mentally and emotionally growing stronger. Its not always so easy to attack these forces but then there are often times where we grow stronger from past hurt but then there are other times where there are some hurt that goes so deep, time dare not mend. One can move on but there are times when the pain gets unbearable and then there are other times when the pain is as a dull throb…silently threatening to rip one apart.


In the end when I think of humans I think of us as Glass Rocks. Although we suffer from being extremely fragile creatures we have the willpower and the inner strength to withstand so much greater battles. The complexity of our lives are amazing........but this was just an Epiphany.


Until Next Time,
