A random post on a random night

As I sit here, I feel a sudden urge to give up the things I love and start writing like mad.

None of this is supposed to make sense, but a gnawing fear at the bottom of my heart makes me suspect that all of this is all too true, and that there is no escape from this sepulchral existence.

People do not care about one another any more. When I see people, including myself in the mirror, in their eyes, I see a strange sort of anxiety that is bred only by unfulfilled wants arising out of naked greed. Some of the less complex personalities cannot mask their feelings and bring it out in every action of theirs. The more complex ones hide it, but exact a revenge for this load on their conscience by making the object of their greed that much bigger. And in a world where open expressions of avarice are considered politically incorrect and frowned upon in society, I fear that we are breeding monstrous greed beneath our visages.

Success, the smallest of it is enough to further fire this lust for more. Failure, on the other hand, acts like a piece of stone smashing through glass, cracking the perfect lattices that have been enforced by a confluence of man's greed and ambition. When a man fails, he is jostled out of his dreaming state of pursuits and he is forced to reconsider the mannerisms which broke the glass for him. However, he proceeds to discard the broken shards and adopts a new glass frame - a new goal for his greed. The realization that the glass is just not meant to be never strikes him.

And thus, each one of us keeps holding up pieces of glass, some breaking, some forming alliances, until we find ourselves in one big glasshouse. And , then it all comes crashing down on us.

Clink, Clink, Clinkity Clinkity Clink.

And in that sorry state of our ruptured egos, we can only comprehend the massive failure that mankind has made of itself.

But I can already hear the glass pieces rebuilding again, ready to form and break and pierce our delicate skins and make us ooze blood till we find salvation.
