Life


Life.

 

The most basic thought. The most abstract, yet morally

Changing idea.

 

Yes thought, life is a thought, a fragile idea on what we

Should strive for.

 

The idea of life is what we strive for, as a society we

View life as steps towards accomplishments as if we were

Addicted to the materialism that this idea holds. Ideas to

Innovate but still fail as humanity. Since we abandon the

Original idea of life.

 

See life is about what we’re doing in the next five years.

Life is what we’re going to be when we are middle aged.

Life will always be measured on what we accomplished,

Never on when we fail.

 

But yet all through life we’ve failed.

We’ve failed to acknowledge the controversy in society.

We follow those that strive for materialism.

We’re so strung upon the being critical towards addicts.

But yet we are the addicts towards what’s trending.

We’ve abandon the idea of life

 

Life is attachment.

Attachment towards what we want never what we need.

That is the idea.

 

The idea of Life.
