The void some of us call life

Before we even know it our ephemeral existence begins to fade into nothingness  and when that happens it is often too late to wind back the hands of time. It is a travesty when able lives brimming with potential are squandered into absolute oblivion. There is no feeling worse than looking back at your life and trying to think  hard about what you did that deserves to be remembered. I am no sage but I know that if I didn’t do my part to make the most of what is at my disposal my life would be nothing more than wasted space.

Is it enough to be self indulgent? Is that even living? Is that the purpose of being here? This hedonistic capitalist world has made us unconscious slaves of our own superficial desires. They say capitalism is about individualism but what is individualism? Its just a polite way of saying you do not give a dime about anyone but yourself. 
Everyday I find a reason to complain, everyday I resent a part of life and everyday I ignore more than half of this worlds population that doesn’t know any better than striving to get a hot meal. My incessant rants then begin to feel petty. I feel petty.

But tomorrow is another day right? Wrong! Tomorrow never comes and when it does it becomes the day after and the day after that and the day after that until we run out of tomorrows. So this idea of a better tomorrow is a delusion because it will never materialize. Can I blame the system? Perhaps… Can I beat the system? Absolutely… Do I really want to? Certainly NOT if I choose to let tomorrow be the judge of that.
