For what is titled the greatest paradoxes in the world, it seems these opposites always disappoint the children of the Earth. For if one searches hard enough they come to find that each paradox is hardly a paradox at all.
Love may be the complete opposite of hate, but without hate there is no love...and without love there is no hate. Nothing in this world could be recognized without paradox.
Death is what gives life meaning. For without death, one sees no reason to live life well. If one were to live forever, no meaning could be found. Life is full of cycles and within those cycles lies death. A constant reminder that one does not have forever.
One can hardly define happiness, so what is pain? It simply is a state of physical, emotional, or mental lack of well-being... or even physical, emotional, or mental uneasiness that ranges from mild discomfort or dull distress to acute unbearable agony. Happiness & pain are two dramatic paradoxes. One would say in order to be happy there needs to be no pain. In a sense this is true. But without pain one could not recognize what happiness is.
Some of us fail to look upon the big picture. Life is about love, life is about happiness, life is not about hating our kind, nor is it about basking in pain.
The most important thing to understand that even in the most tough of times..light can be found. When one is facing pain from all sides and sees no way out..they must remember that happiness still exists...because pain exists!

No man can confidently say that he will still be living tomorrow, nor no woman, nor no child. People hear this all the time. Live life to the fullest. Appreciate everyone in your life because they may be gone tomorrow. We've heard that since we were just small children when just the thought of death was overwhelming, uncomprehendable. To the young death is just distant words, a dream, a nightmare. It barely exists.
In soceity we have video games & movies where death is casually seen. People are shot at, bombs droped down upon. Death is casual, but no joke.
Thinking & talking about death need not be morbid, but itt rarely occurs to us that over 300,000 people die a day.
The sadest part about death is knowing that death is more universal than life.
Because everyone dies, & not everyone lives.
You see in a moment, anthing can happen.
People can cry, and people can die. But people can also smile & they can live.
You can die when you're alive you know. Dying's when you stop living right?
It takes so much more to living than it does to dying. It takes more to live with someone than to simply kill someone.
So why are we all here; Alive, & laughing, & smiling?
And why are some of us not here.
I have no other answer than thats how it is.
You can't live forever, so why should you live like you're going to?
You should appreciate the life you live, & you shouldn't have a reason to ever fear death because you know that you lived a good life. Ignorance & fear of death over shadow life. But you shouldn't let it.
More things in this world need to be accepted, more people need to be forgiven, more places explored, and more fears conqured.
But the world I speak of is nonexistent, just a dream.
But hopefully one day someone can say;
It all started with a dream of appreciation.

Are we human?
I am walking up a mountain.Rain is pounding hard on my back, every single drop is fire, burning through my skin sending a hot sensation through my body. It is not the same pleasant feeling rain once gave me. I am surrounded by all too many trees. I lost my path, and every tree looks the same. I'm running, in circles, getting no where just as I previously suspected.
Darkness is flooding the sky, and for once it doesn't scare me. Instead, everything else does. I am trapped, but the darkness if comfort, and I can hide here. My world has been turned around. Everything that once put a smile on my face now only makes tears fall from my eyes, although they are a different type of tears. I reach my hand up to wipe the tears away, but astoningishly there are none there.
Everything has been changed, there is no where left to run to, I can only hide.
...But why should I hide? Why should I want to run?
Is it because I am coward?
Or because I am human?

Redemtion
The scariest person in the world is yourself.
You know every single secret of your's.
Every single flaw.
Though, sometimes some of us fail to see acknowledge our flaws, they are still there.
You know what you have done.
So there's no place to hide, not from yourself.
What you fail to realize is there is always a way to redeem yourself.
Even the most brutal things can be atoned.
Before anyone can forgive you must forgive yourself first.
Redemption, cannot be without forgiveness.
You will find, that not everyone forgives you, this is where you move on.
We will all read this story a different way.
We will take different things from it, different thoughts.
As long as we take something.

All the time in the world?
Every moment you want to last always end up having to pass.
Time is ticking, all the time, never stopping not even for a slight, humble moment.
Everyday you drag through life, everything happening much too slowly then as a sudden surprise; when you look back everything has happened so fast.
Time passes. Whether it passes slowly, or everything happens in a wink of your eye.
More often than not things go by slow when sorrow has passed through us (Note that I say "passed through." Sorrow comes, sorrow goes, but sorrow never stays in a persons life. A life filled with sorrow, is no life at all.) Things pass by slow because that's how we make them pass. Notice how when you are joyful you seem to lose track of time? These are the days we remember time. These are the days we enjoy so they happen fast.
Beautiful-
Breathtaking-
And yet,
extremely annoying.
There's not enough time in the world.
So the solution, is to simply enjoy the time you can, and to make the most of it.

Change?
Spectacular, this world is.
Skies that were grey yesterday now display a magical shade of blue. Noise that once shrieked in your ears, making you shiver, is now a simple, soft nothing. The cold hard rain has slowed down to only a calm drizzle. This planet that we call Earth changes, and it has everyday since the moment it was created. Everything on this planet changes, whether it is alive or not.
A tree is alive, most of the time anyways. A stick falls off, the stick is dead. This stick might not even be one inch wide, but this stick has made a change. A change in the ground or a change in the tree. This stick may have lost some bark in the process, and perhaps this stick has changed life for a bird.
The thing is, in our world, we don’t pay attention to the changes in sticks or trees, but we often do see the change of the people around us. I have heard people say people can never be changed, this is not true. People make mistakes, mistakes cannot be undone, but people change all the time. People change so the same mistake will not be made again. These changes surround us, and our opinions differ on different people's change.
Just remember, everyone is a fallen stick at some point.

When every
single slow slipping step
you take
feels like a trip
you will find it hard to remember why you ever started walking in the first place
You want to stop, and you're losing pace
But somehow you're still
slipping, tripping, dissing, and missing
You're losing your step, more and more.
But still, some how you haven't ceased.
You're mind is set on stopping.
So how will you ever go?
Something I have recently learned is you cannot go faster until you stop trying to slow down. The truth is, life never slows down. Even though you have to start somewhere, you don't always get to choose where you start. If you start off slowly, don't try to stop, try to speed up, see where that leads you.
