The Paradox of Nature


Destruction of the mind, the soul. Everything comes to an end, Vibrating, rippling in its inevitable stop. Or does it? To be whole, why must we be destroyed? I can only think of one answer. One answer that makes no sense, makes me feel... Not hopeful. But not hopeless, either. I waver in my thoughts, confused, Staggering in the face of the impossible. An emotion that is exactly what it isn't. We don't know what it is. Everyone feels it. A paradox, a wall, a pain. People crumble in its face. Our reactions are the same; we feel the same. Not hopeful. But not hopeless either.
