If anything, I have learned
of the void. The void can be filled in numerous amounts of ways, most
commonly consisting of material possessions, science, religion, family; but for
some this does not suffice. What then, is able to fill this emptiness?
Some may say God, but I believe this fits in a different category
altogether. No, I believe that some have a stronger drive and need for
the unity, freedom, and adventure that have been created for our benefit. That unbreakable sense of lives intertwining
and pushing one another along can be one of the most fulfilling feelings of
human existence. It cannot be found in
environments filled with judgment or facades, for it thrives off sincere
genuineness. It is souls coming together
into one being that accepts each as they are and promotes goodness in the lives
of each other. This bond allows for
freedom; freedom to express, freedom to create, freedom to experience. Liberty from following the status quo, from
running our soul’s dry, and from living under unnecessary social
restrictions. No longer is there a need
to impress, please, or meet expectations, for there has never been a sufficient
reason for our nature to be covered up so that it may not offend or be seen as
abnormal. Individual human expression is
a wonderful phenomenon betrothed to us by our Creator, and as so has never been
intended to be suppressed. This desire
for more, something other than the so little that the common man has to offer,
creates the drive for experiencing the unknown.
It is never easily satisfied by the comforts
of this world, but rather flourishes from a certain amount of discomfort.
The ventures that make life on Earth a sufficient temporary will
never be found sitting in a recliner staring glassy-eyed at a television. No, a willingness to give up the
stumbling-block of comfort is a necessity in order to experience the true
beauties of the world.
