Late at night there are times i sit up and look at the world around me. Now as most of it rests, I endure the blanket of silence, feel the calm and embrace the peace that binds me.
It's times like these that make me realise just how vulnerable we are but at the same time how humble we could be.
If only we could take a step back from the illusions of the world and dwell on the greatest experiences of our existence.
If we could become more aware of what our tongues speak, be cautious of what our minds think, we can stay afloat and not sink
With less ignorance, arrogance and close mindedness to cripple our minds, less violence, deception and crime to blind our eyes.
Maybe all this hate, prejudice and greed would not find room to take over our hearts, minds & souls. Maybe we could all come together, learn from each other and make our existence whole.
After all our strengths are another's weakness, so with that knowledge, it should not deter our potential and abilities but rather help us understand our complimentary significance.
