life, a brittle, fragile, abstract, unrelatable

story


Each persons life. When you think to yourself yeh i can relate to what that persons thinking, do you really? Probably not. How can you ever relate to someone, when people are different, the things each person goes through, the events that happen to people through life.. there is no way you can relate to the person. You may feel the same feelings, but those feelings you feel.. won't be the same.

Your grandmother died, so did Jeromes. You and Jerome share the same death, the same feeling, loss (or maybe not). But it won't be the same. Each persons life is so unique, so brittle, fragile, so undescribable, and unrelatable. You could even say each life signifies a different universe, my life my universe looked through my eyes central to me, my fingers typing this crap; and your life, your universe, central to yourself, looking through your eyes onto what ive written.

I watched the movie Remember Me, central themes revolving around love, living for the moments, living in the moments, living to create the moments u live for. So then creating the moments, it should be noted that every life is different, but should we then conclude that every life is equally important? At first glance, you'd like to think yeh. Everyones life is equally important to the next, but thats beyond hilarious. Its so funny because thats so false.

Every life is important, but would you really give a shit about that man you saw walking across the street to get to Starbucks on George St? If he died, you wouldnt even know. If your friend dies from an overdose of drugs, etc.. ofcourse youd care. Life is seen through your eyes, your eyes tell your brain these people, these things are important to me. So when people die in wars, from terrorist attacks, from anything of a mass. Think how many people are affected by the deaths, its beyond imagining. And since we cannot even imagine the impact of the deaths to the different people affected, then how can we say every life is just as important as the next? We can't because it can't be true.

Life is so fragile, and it can be changed in any moment. Your walking home from university, and you cross the road and you get hit by a car. You lose your legs. Is it probable? yeh, will it happen? meh, but it is probable. You are driving from university and your rushing home. You hit someone and you have made them lose their legs forever. Both lives change so instantly. But like that movie Benjamin Button, what if say 6 years ago u stayed an hour long in that waxing salon, or 2 more drinks at a club, would that change what happened to you in the present day and you losing your legs? Dunno, If u say yes, then you probably dont believe that everything happens for a reason.. even if you said you did, or joined a facebook group saying "Everything happens for a reason"; because if you did believe that, then no matter what happened in the past, you will eventually lose your legs at that spot, walking home from uni, at that moment, your life being so brittle, fragile, abstract and unrelatble would also be unchangeable. The idea that we all have a path and we walk it, even if we ahve decisions to make that path wont change, its a straight brick road, and its up to either our decisions or a higher beings, to determine whether its a yellow one or not.

Write your story, live it. Follow it. Theres no need to understand it, becaue you will never be able to.
