Chapter 1: Chapter 1
One of the greatest gifts humans have ever received is thought and wonder. Therefore, what I think and wonder should not be scoffed at. I sometimes look at the expanse of sky over our heads and wonder about the atoms swirling in the atmosphere with their protons and electrons colliding against each other were living forces watching over the globe. If the sky were a living force it would watch over all the stories of our world unfold in each frame of a second as if watching an animation flipbook of pain and happiness, hunger and gluttony, anger and peace, civility and barbarism. The sky as a living force would still be the same old sky that has been with us since the dawn but, what if it was sentient? What if it could feel the hate, anger, depression, violence, and joy resonating from the hard, packed earth below? What I’m trying to say in the best way possible is how overwhelming are the flames of this heated world? And will they one day consume us?
I find it easiest to look at this thought from the perspective of the sky, an entity that can be capable of seeing lie and truth born of the thought of a person, every emotion created by a sweet lollipop or a smile, and every cutter and the victim’s bleeding, crimson wounds. If the sky were to see every single last sad story the human race has to offer, would it eventually look down and lose its blue color and send us dismal rays? If the sky could be overwhelmed by such thing, what’s to say our own people wouldn’t? It seems as though the process is already beginning to grind its gears slowly into the already open and salted gashes of mankind. Soon we’ll be bursting at the seams with the strife of our emotions and cogs and pistons of the world will take a long pause, never to start again.
I am speaking of a wide plain of wars we face today; the uprisings in the Middle East, the genocidal crusades of Africa, and the never-ceasing terrorism. Though, violence is not the only thing that will destroy us but greed and want will, too. Our planet is slowly making its decline as our want for quick transportation, our want for factory-made products, and our want for everything increases. I am sorry to say I can’t think of a solution to the problems that face us and the world, I can’t say if anyone even cares, it’s all I can do to point out the problem. The only thought I can provide is for the world to come together and create a solution ourselves. Until then we’ll have to think to ourselves can the good in our lives and the world be enough to overcome the bad in it? Until then we have to wonder is there a future even with all the corruption?
