ephemeral

of late, i've been very intrigued by the frailty of the human life. we often think that we are young and we will live forever, but never realize till it is too late that our lives are but a breath in thousands of years. its funny how we become fixated on the temporal things of the earth because it is so near to us, so physical and so immediate that we choose to let the eternal go in a moment of pure impulse. 

the human mind baffles me. more often than not, we make choices in haste without considering the consequences. but there are yet more times when we fear the cost of our actions so greatly that we miss out on simply taking the leap of faith. 

its funny because every day as i collect more and more pieces of knowledge that are meant to equip me, i see the foolishness of man-kind: constantly in search of power, pleasure and prestige. not realizing that such greed for ephemeral pursuits engulfs a man's soul and ultimately destroys it by blinding the eyes of our spirit toward God. 

Silly billys.
