A "grey" Perspective..

I’m not sure if this is a subject you like to go through, or even interest you in any way.. or even you agree with me on it.. but, well..

have u ever wondered while the world is getting smaller and smaller.. and ironically, it gets more and more complex.. I'm sure you thought about that.. and every time a big change happens (either political change, or pure technological) life only gets worse and worse.. not a day passes, without me wishing that I was living in the ancient ages.. way back in time.. where one lives for his day, and worries of none.. the days when people value love and friendship, beauty and art, valor and bravery.. when people fight the unjust, and hearten the righteous..


But, again, when I rummage around history and dig through its pages, I find that even those times witnessed the cruelty and malice of the human mind.. people were killed over wealth and lands.. greed.. people were enslaved so others can live prosperously.. discrimination was as easy as scribbling on your notepad while sipping your tea..! The age of this earth that we live upon is about 4.5 billion years according to geologists.. it is believed that it was inhabited by mankind for the last 250 thousand years.. imagine, for how long this earth gives its riches and treasures and keeps feeding the ungrateful man, who nevertheless, keeps fighting, killing and raping his fellow men.. greed.. what an ugly image to think of when looking into the mirror..!! humans, the most advanced and complicated creatures that ever walked this earth, are the most unworthy of all..

And in the midst of all this, I forgot my point, or the thought I was trying to perceive..!


But, let’s go on, while I’m at it.. it’s not enough that we are greedy and consume almost every ounce of natural and unnatural resource that we come to possess, no.. we need to resist any change that might help improve our way of life, or the way we live.. just because we cannot comprehend how bad we live.. to think of it, our blindness surpasses the mere purpose of our existence.. I mean why are we here.. and where are we going.. let me rephrase, if each and every one of us knew how his life will end, would it change the way we lived it..? to the better I believe.. cause see.. we tend to see the big picture after it is ruined.. after it’s too late.. at the end.. and now, I believe the end is near.. well, for most of us anyway..

let’s take a quick look at what’s happening around the world.. there are wars.. there are rumors of wars.. there are floods, drastic climate change, mass extinction in some ecosystems.. diseases and epidemics with no vaccines and solid cure.. and a current global financial crisis that blinds global governments from thinking of anything else..!! I mean if there is a strike, there is no proper timing for it than now.. all the pieces of the dominos are falling apart..

I don’t know what will happen, or when will it happen.. but something inside me tells me that some massive global disaster is gonna happen soon.. very soon…

So basically humanity has sucked and therefore shall always suck? lol yeah I agree that people are greedy bs no I dont think knowing the consequences will stop people from going about their ways. We should know these truths true, but should we dwell on all this ugliness??

Humanity is cruel, but its also grand. There are great moments and accomplishments.Massive global disasters are always happening one way or another..Like Hurricane Katrina devastated New Orleans..'3a'6ab cuz of all their voodoo most likely...but there are moments when humans band together and lend one another helping hand...

There's a reason for everything w I believe that especially in the depths of tragedy...Good is possible. Humanity can be grand. Life makes these things hard and rare but their all the more preicious when u find them in people...

I can be cynical, but the world shouldn't be painted as ugly all the times. It helps having hope

I'm not talking just gloomy just because i like, or hate the human race.. no.
and I'm not talking about the good or bad of us.. am talking about stuff that leads to other stuff, that gets accumilated.. and triggers something.. if something bad will happen, there is no perfect timing than this.. forget about the grand humanity crap.. we are not as good as we think we are.. specially when we get to the brink of destruction.. forget those hopeful moments that u see in movies.. the mass behavior of the cruel minds will prevail in such times..

The Well is already Dry..

Earth History: Many scientists and archeologists believe that the earth is 4.5 billion years of age, based on evidence from radiometric age dating or meteorite materials as well as the oldest-known lunar and terrestrial samples. Now over the span of all these years the climate of the earth , of course, have been changing constantly and to our knowledge these changes happened over very long periods of time that later were referred to as era’s or ages. However, the current hot topic of “global warming” and “climate change” debates whether we, humans, are causing this current global warming, thus affecting climate change around the globe. Natural history tells us that there were lots of ice ages and warm periods that the earth went through, changing the geological features known at that time. Some happened suddenly, caused by sudden volcanic eruptions and devastating earthquakes.. But mostly some of them have happened over a long period of time. But, for those who look closely and dig d...

Like Leaves in an Autumn Night..

I couldn't sleep.. There is a stirring wave that needs to shatter on my shores.. and like a steady land I stood firm, and infused its rousing rage.. no pen could transform it into writing.. this is just an attempt:   “ Like leaves in an autumn night... The shattered heart has declared its flight.. A blatant strain of life...  Uprising   Tears, Drained of patience.. Diminished... Behold the wrath of flowers, Against its very perfume.. The spiritual rebel, Has come home, Proud of its solitude.. singing: In the darkest night, I chose to suffer.. In the realm of void I sailed my boat.. To the unknown... Hoping.. For a foolish hope, Is all I have.. To wander along, This wretched life... So long, my beautiful life… "

A walk, a groan and a missing roof..

The road back to our town might prove to be longer than I thought. Definitely intolerable, now that I’m limping my way through after that horrid fall. I’m fortunate enough that Abel was with me; else I’ll be in some wild bear innards by now, getting digested slowly. “Can you still walk?” she asked.  “I guess I still can!” I almost shouted the words out. My damn masculine ego is the only thing keeping me from asking her to carry me all the way home. No, to the Three Gulls Tavern first; ale is much deserved after this murky morning. Although she’s three years my elder, she never showed it to me. My stupidity sometimes leads me to think that she has a heart for me. But, then, I remember the voyages my tongue got me into through my escapades in the realms of women. With them, I fall easily, but I get back up with, a scar of course.  But, Abel… I can’t afford going in that path with her. She’s a precious friend. An older friend whom I can’t define. Might never will....
