No one is your strength or guidance. If life is what you wish to live then do not bind your soul to something unreal. The creater nor the keeper can heal you for it is blind faith that leads you.


Imagine a world where there was no conflict. Where in the beginning there were no swords clashing or shields shattering or kingdoms falling. Imagine if in the beginning everything was peaceful. Perfect.

Today our quarrels would be settled easily through a conversation or discussion. No threats, no fears. It would end with smiles and a hand shake.
People wouldn't walk the city streets in fear, no one would have to rush to lock their doors at night.

Imagine a world where our firearms were only used for hunting. Not hurting. Imagine a world where whenever we killed an animal or chopped a tree we asked for forgiveness and used those resources for something important.

Today when someone said they were going hunting they would bring back fair game. They'd skin it and cook it themselves. They'd use it to feed their families. Today people when people cut down a tree it wouldn't be because they didn't like it their or they needed the land but because they needed to build a home or keep their children warm.

Imagine a world where we as humans thought things through.
Where we didn't jump to conclusions.
Where we didn't judge each other.

Imagine a world where we chose love over war.

I was just thinking about this the other day how several people's lives could have been spared from all the pointless wars and conflicts we've had. I hope you liked it or at least I hope it got you thinking too.
