...and you'll never know what hit you.

I shot for the sky, I'm stuck on the ground. So why do I try? I know I'm gonna fall down.

Keeping Faith

So, they tell me there are worse things in life. And somewhere deep inside, I know they're right. Hell, in this century, with countries vying with each other over nuclear warfare, and suicide bombers blowing craters a meter wide in residential streets, merely existing is an achievement. People get divorced, get cheated on, lose their kids to gang violence, have their houses robbed (sometimes five times over), get jailed for crimes they didn't commit. How many families have lost loved ones in airplane crashes? Yes, there's always somebody out there who has it worse than you. But does that mean that if a person doesn't fall in one of the above-mentioned categories, his or her problems aren't important enough? Their suffering doesn't matter because they haven't been hurt enough, is that it? I don't think so. Every time someone hurts, no matter how small, it matters. We're all human, and we're all equal, and when one of us hurts, it is a t...

It's quiet. Too quiet.

How do you get to a point in your life where you don't feel anything anymore? The numbness is no longer intriguing; it's as much a part of you as your emotions used to be, and you can't remember a time before it. You wonder what it was like to FEEL. To feel a hot rush of overwhelming happiness, sweeping away all else. Or the crushing disappointment that made you feel your life was ending and the sky was falling, all at once. Now, however, the days shuffle by quietly, and you can barely recall the undulating waves of emotion that you once rode. If the doctors were to check your ECG, you feel sure it would be nothing but a flat line of emptiness. Nothing bothers you, nothing surprises you, nothing fazes you in the least. And you can't help but wonder if this is peace in the true sense of the word, or something more sinister.

Parallel Universes and Alternate Dimensions.

Humans are one clever species. Having spent about two million years on planet earth, I guess we've managed to pick up a thing or two on living. Like how to justify everything life throws our way. If things are going the way we want them to, then we tell ourselves we deserve it, no doubt about it. And if something bad happens, we find a thousand and one reasons to assure ourselves that it was ultimately for the best, or to use Dumbledore's words, that it must have been for 'the greater good'. But the question is, was it really? Are we ever really in a position to judge what could have been better or worse for us when we don't even know what never happened?  The other day, my cousin was talking to me about parallel universes, about how each of us has got a double living in some alternate dimension who does the exact opposite of what we do in the real world. So if I go left when I'm walking down a street, my double goes right in his world. Okay, so as cool as th...
