Cycling

Life is cyclic. Empires rise and fall. People born and die. The storm always brings a sunny day. Earth moves around the Sun and around itself, always coming back to where it began. We, human beings, slaves of our emotions, are not left behind. Cycling through life, revisiting, reviving, redefining, we share our slice when we act. Action must bring reaction and in reaction we find happiness and sadness. Sadness and happiness. Does not matter which came first. Be sure, it won’t last long.

Can we break the cycle?

It is interesting to observe life. Humanity has been progressing through the ages and our society has known great development. From small nomadic groups to megalopolis, archaic systems of government to democracy, gathering to farm industrialization. Technology booms for the past 2 centuries. And there is more to come.

Although great advancements have been made it’s kind of ironic to see that our human dilemmas, our worries, our difficulties remain the same and no matter how the world changes, we keep struggling within.

All of us, even through a single tiniest piece of time, once in life, have been swallowed by a moment of darkness, touched by chaotic waves of emotions, frenzy agitation of the mind.

We feel lost. Solitude.

Shattered pieces of humanity. No hope.

In a black sea under the moonlight, I dive. Pushing myself, away, from the light that fades. I fell asleep.

I am no more.

Life gives us choices. We need to learn. We need to grow. Life will push us towards improvement.

It is our choice how to get there.

We can be ready, and knowing the wave is coming, hold our board tight. Or… We can keep our eyes shut, ignore it, until it crashed on us. We will drown. It will send us to the bottom. Sand, water, dirty.

Until it is time to wake.

I open my eyes.

I look at the mirror. Truth. I see. No masks. No pretends.

I accept. No defense. No denial. No excuses.

I change. No try outs.

I must change.

I shall rise… Again.

Eventually, I’ll learn to break the cycle.
