Unaffected
Amidst the noise and chatter of people I do not know lies a singular truth. Undeniable and blunt... staring into my soul and slapping my face with lessons on reality. The world and everything in it continues to exist and move forward despite trials and problems that for me, has stopped everything to a standstill. One problem does not stop the world from turning no matter how we may view it and twist it to our own conceited version of how things are.
That is reality in its simplest form. We get hurt, we feel pain. We stop, everything else continues, with or without us.
Not everything can be seen in black and white. Not all questions are answered with a yes or no. Only idiots deal in absolutes. Those who are unlucky (or even lucky) enough to live with absolute decisions are either haunted or blessed by the lack of complications. I myself consider my problems both good and bad. My pain fuels my passion, my suffering is my muse, my life is my death. All in all I can say that I chose this path despite the myriad of chances to live a "better" life. There have been a plethora of great opportunities that have passed by. I am to blame for each loss. I am to credit for each gain... and I am responsible for each decision.
This is the life I live that fails to stop the world from turning. That is the reality I now understand and attempt to live with. Any future failures or successes will depend on how I play my cards against a world that could care less about what happens; All because the world keeps turning... and needs to keep turning regardless of what I think or experience.
