In Any Other Realm


The world is not better; we are not stronger or wiser than other generations. We are born, and we are murdered by old age, illness, but we have still yet to change. Not only change our ways but our minds. We must decide consciously to change and willingly; for if we change without our knowledge we only continue shortly on our way back to who were, and our past will become our destiny, our future. Change must be evoked within ourselves to affect the order of normal. In order to create catastrophic change in any other realm, we must make a drastic change in our mind. The mind is where it all starts and where it all ends. Change doesn't always have to be good but change in the wrong hands can make the world worse We are reaching for perfection and in the wrong hands perfection might be sought, the world in perfect chaos– perfect chaos would even still be better than what we are living. We live in an idle world where change does not exist. We live in the world that is not better. We are not stronger because we do not fight. We are not wiser because we do not learn.
