when you are alone.. the human reaction of being seperated from everything safe. "life, liberty and property" or "the pursuit of happiness" is more than a political acheivement. property refers to the feeling of security from losing everything. i wonder if the meaning of this translates into a personal frame as well. don't you want to be free from worrying that times change and that lonliness will one day be yours? don't you want to be free from the blues of life? do you not want to know the escape of life?
everything changes. someone said "change is the only constant" and yet going through drastic changes and even bigger ones, i never learn to distant myself from the things that ocme my way. i forget to keep my heart in it's place. instead i lend it to everything or should i say give it to all that comes. and then when the wind blows me... my hands are left stretching for the strings that i have attached.
why haven't i learned in these 18 years of life, that times comes and goes. and the ticking clock suggest destiny? looking up to the majestic sky and into the deep sea where all i see is the horizon that my eyes can take in. i understand my finite being.
the enlightment has come and gone. and i wondered if men dream up a dream to hold on to themselves. relatively, we may have a scientific understanding of the earth around us but what about life itself? science has its bearing but it does not stop at that. i would be devastated to find the truth just scientific. because i am not just scientific, i am human being. i have a consiecnce, a reactionary process... i am not a beast or another creation. yes, i am that overbearing creature that belongs to the race that has played everything into her own hand. But life?
the inner emotions. the one that lies on the bed every night. the one alone in the night looking at the solitiary moon sitting in place amidst the stars.
i am one in society, the individual seeking "life, liberty and property". and after everything empirical, i cannot spy it out.
