Fear


You live in the comfort of life as you perceive it to be.

You grow to love the things that you believe you need.

You embrace the tenderness of the falsely pleasing

While you fear to embrace the idea of what you don’t know.

 

Cross the threshold.

Cross it, and see what you discover.

Are you in fear?

Do you live in a limbo of unparalleled existence where everything is nothing and nothing is real?

How do you feel?

Is the tangible even something to take into consideration?


This moment is what you should embrace.

The endless thought of infinite solitude in a world where nothing is real and true.

All ideas are plausible and something you must consider.

This anarchical method of epistemological existence should be your comfort.

 

Find comfort in the boundlessness of your ideological existence and flourish in your perceived consciousness.
