providence

The world presents such wonderful moments, and yet, nothing golden ever lasts. These times will pass, these leaves will wither, and with enough time, these laughs will be no more. Our everchanging web of life is so full of contrasting sadness.

How so? Is this moment any more sad or happy than another?

Of course! Through trials of duration and distance, everyone here has arrived to create this perfect moment, us included. If I could, I would keep this moment, wouldn't you?

Never. I have been embraced, in every moment, just as we are now - how we choose to process is the difference, as even without us, moments continue. Every condition that has led us here is exactly as it should be, this same individual governance will provide us confliction shared. This moment, like all others, before and after, are all one in the same. You interpret exactly what you want to - such is your liberty of choice.

A short between Providence and Fate, who walk together on the infinite path. As if anyone really understands the yapping of some old dude, thanks for the depression Schopenhaur.

This may sound somewhat familiar - I changed some of the content, but the idea stems from Boethius' classic - On the Consolation of Philosophy. I am not particularly religious, but this concept of a infinite order (Providence), interpreted through time and space (Fate) makes for a curious approach to how life proceeds. Things are pretty crazy - brother (or sister), this is only just beginning. Ask the boys exploring khaos, or the "gaping void." No, she's not related.

Expecting such a duality seems well tested; every rift across human existence seems to contrast something, by order, or by disorder. Whether life continues beyond self, or whatever justification we seek to help us fear death a bit less - does it change the life you are living? Is it your life? Taking steps, allowing steps, and dancing at the intersection of your turn; art, if you are willing. Live a little, share a little, and find some balance in the little things, big guy.
