Brutal Honesty

january 19th

It's actually very simple. Of course, we've complicated it, but that's understandable because that's the human way: to complicate things. All of these answers to the billions of questions we've come about to ask and seek an answer for; we think we'll find these answers in philosophies, religion, money, each other.

We say we believe in science and God but never let ourselves think too much about how they completely contradict each other. How is it that evolution could occur if God made the world in 7 days? And also, what is God's role to the millions of other planets that are said to exist? Do they know Him? Is that where He resides? Have these other worlds discovered the truth? Or, are they still searching, just as we are? Do these other worlds even exist? 

And, there is it. This wretchedly beautiful quality: wonder. All of these questions that lead us to seek answers that are ever changing. 

I rooted it back, to what we are told the earth was, billions of years ago. That once all the continents were together, all land was connected, as all plants, animals and any other possible organisms who had spent their stay on this beautiful mother earth. Imagine that: All together. No America or China, or South America or Africa. Possibly no divisions or big differences between things. Little variety between things of similar origin. Simple, maybe.

Maybe there were humans, maybe there was nothing. 

Maybe everything we are taught about what the earth is and once was, are lies. Maybe Outer space and the bones in our body and our organ functions are just as paradoxical as religion. Perhaps the photos we are shown of our earth and this idea that we need iron and B-12 are just as equal of bullshit as the shit our politicians say. 

Most likely, I'm being disrespectful to the people who have dedicated their lives to finding answers to the endless amount of questions and am showing disrespect to anyone who's actually risked their lives or missed experiences or lost someone because they've dedicated their lives to making themselves so involved in finding all these answers. 

But things always change. Things are always changing. And yes, this could be rooted back to the earth billions of years ago because once, all of the continents were together and the land was connected, just as all the plants and animals, and other organisms who have resided on this beautiful mother earth might have been. But things have changed. We have America, China, South America, and Africa and Greenland. We have divisions between things of different origin. We have humans and technology and at the rate we're going, there will never be nothing here again, even if every living being ceased to exist. 

As I said, there is change every second of every day. I'm changing, just as you are. Just as the world never stops moving and our hearts keep beating, the earth will follow.

There's no need to complicate it. What this world is, what you are, and what everything else always is, wont always be and I think that's just fine. 

Everything is temporary and that is okay. Learn to live, day by day.
