I remember a conversation I had with my sister (who I miss terribly right now) about the colors of our world. How our eyes are sensitive to light, and how our eyes are made let us see colors, and she said "For all we know, perhaps the grass is really purple, not green, and red is actually blue." After some thought, I said "To who?" To who are the grasses purple and our crimson blood the the shade of the sky? but none of that is true. We share this world, with all the other creatures on this planet. There is no 'actually' or 'really' when looking at how we see the world, only just how we see it. We consider how, say, dogs see the world. To them, it is their world, and we are on their turf, when we look at our world, they are on our turf. We think its our ground, but everyone thinks that for themselves, too. The world we formed is completely self-centered. We think the world we have taken into our hands has melted into this horrible world that we can inevitably fix. Some days evil will prevail, and some days good will reign, but there can't ever be a balance. The world we created makes us believe that good is in this world, but those people forgot about the extra chance. They forgot about the fact the death and evil is prevailing in everything, in every beat of of every heart, in each word that escapes from our lips, every candle we blew out, every inch we moved, every single cell in our bodies. They forgot that there is no safe place. There is no sanctuary. There will always be the chance of death everywhere we go, yet some places less than others. We cannot stop, and even if we do, the world won't stop with us. We are all connected, and we cannot help it. There will be the chance that like tomorrow, the meal I ate was poisoned by accident, and I would die. Maybe all that happened because I was a few seconds early and some soccer-mom living in Long Island would have bought that soup can I ate and she would die instead of me. We are all saviors and we are all murderers, whether we believe so or not, whether we admit it or not, whether we deny it or not. If we kept track of every reason of every action, it would go to show that everyone is at fault, yet only a single person is at fault. If someone died, everyone that interacted with the murderer or someone who interacted with someone who interacted with the murderer or someone who interacted with someone who interacted with someone who interacted with the murder, etc., is at fault, yet also is the murderer is. the Murderer could have moved on and spared his life, and yet so could everyone else. We make decisions everyday without realization, or consideration of what it could evolve into. Everyone does not realize that death is in each of us all the time, even when we are doing nothing. Even when we are doing nothing, your are amongst everything.
No one can be cut off from anything.
No one can be left alone.
Death is inevitable.
We cannot escape.
