Nothing Matters

Whilst you are sitting there comfortably a student is feeling something sharp on her neck. A small knife terminating all those plans of going to university. Due to incompetence, due to a desire to be fair to everyone and not placing the risk to innocents at the top of the agenda, a person with mental health problems is on the loose. They have attacked and killed this fragile irreplaceable young beauty. In their prime. A future partner not to be. What she would have done in her life, what she may or may not have achieved, no one will ever know. Only we and those that knew her can imagine. We hear stories like these and wonder what the heck is it all about. Some feel that it won’t happen to them so not a great concern. Look at the statistics, these kinds of things are rare. There is evil in our midst, but overall, most people are kind and considerate. The majority passionately care for others. The good outweighs the bad by far, despite the spiteful vein inside us all that lashes out occasionally. Retaliation is rewarding. As is peace making and reconciliation. And of course love can conquer all.

Day and night people are active, making love, making plans, going to bed, or getting up. Each of us reside in our own little world expressing enthusiasm, doubts, and beliefs. There are plenty of inspiring people out there. We can be pleased to be alive to witness amazing events. Would you have chosen this period in man’s history to be born? Was it better before or will it be better in years to come? One thing is for sure, it takes a lot of effort to get to where we want to be. Sometimes it is five hours work for a few minutes of joy. We have to battle against those that wish to thwart us, those that believe that they are right and you are wrong. Fun can peak and we may yearn for new challenges. Round and round it goes all looking good until the sun comes up again, shedding light on the cracks ignored the night before. This circular rhythm of life is a thing of majesty, but on occasions we feel different in the cold light of day.
