We should all approach our nothingness with zeal...

We should all approach our nothingness with zeal
When we cascade from the plummeting pride that we call tangible evolution
We should not force the growing but the emptiness which allows the something of character
We cannot all be whole
Some of us must be growing
Some of us must be the ones who grasp the meaning of love from the pain others flee from
We must know the truth from the lies so many attempt to reflect from
Formulate not the future living, but the present breathing
The present zeal at existing
As a zygote on a plane of infinity •

We are all mighty in our own individual lives, some of us great in the scope of the world, but we are all insignificant from the view of the universe. We are all existing on a barely perceptible speck of dust. We fight, lose blood, and injure the harmless, for nothing. Our lives are merely a blip on the timeline of eternity. Spend this blip of time making life easier for others. As even though from the stance of the universe we do not matter, pain is real and tangible in the moment. Make peace with your insignificance, as you are alive and breathing, and this life means something to you as an individual. Help others breathe a little easier when you have the choice and the chance. •
