Rise From Your Grave

I've decided to split my videogame related ramblings into a seperate blog because some people who read this don't particularly care for gaming.

All or Nothing

We are all aware of the fact that we are only an individual in a world containing fuck-knows-how-many others, but how often is it that we want more?
We all know that we're entitled to just our little slice, but have you ever wished you could have more? Even have it all? Sometimes one thing, or person, can feel like everything.

The Controller

Is it a deep-rooted or hardwired human urge to control others? I wouldn't know as I've rarely ever felt it.
I've always seen myself as more of a good solider, not a leader. We have to stand out in the crowd somehow and I guess my lack of desire to lead is one of my defining traits.

Leading and controlling are two different things though; when you are trying to help someone, try to lead them. Control is never appreciated.

Sunshine In Fall

I can't forget you, because I still feel like an asshole for hurting you.
Only recently have I realised just how much I miss you, heck, even just your company.
Don't doubt that you were good enough for me - you always were.

I'll agree that we all need to move on, but I just wish it wasn't without you somewhere in my life - even as an observer, the comfort I take in knowing you're there looking out for me is all I need to keep me going.

Even though I feel terrible about it, I don't want to forget you - why are you so eager to forget about me?

I'm genuinely sorry. I couldn't be more open with you.
I just hope that someday you'll find this and realise that while I wasn't the one who got hurt, you're not the only one to come out of this sore. I apologise if that sounds selfish but it's how I feel.

The bottom line here is;
I miss you.

Right Makes Might

As people, we live our lives by what we believe is wrong or right. We make choices based on our moral perception of the world and what we believe will do good to a just cause.

One of the major disadvantages of being human is that we are so intelligent and have the power to reason with not only other people, but ourselves. We can choose to justify the means so that we believe we're doing the right thing, but when it reaches the end we can see just how wrong we really were.

Factoring Time

Human beings are controlled by a myriad of natural forces in all that they do, but it can be said with conviction that the only factor that affects absolutely everything in life is the concept of time.

Time is unstoppable, uncontrollable; it only flows in one way, never stopping, never slowing. The manipulation of time is a fantasy reserved for the weavings of science fiction writers and the imaginations of the perpetually troubled. Of course, the desire to control the flow of the ages is natural and deep-rooted in human psychology. All of us wish we could do at least one thing differently at some point in our lives, maybe we just haven't reached that point yet.

The restrictions that time places on our actions are undeniable; they have arguably the most influence on the outcome of anything that we do and to attempt to extend them will only have one result - failure. The one who plays with time will find that, like playing with fire, all that will come out of it is pain and misery.

However, time is not exclusively negative - it can propel us to unimaginable feats of bravery, impossible displays of skill. It can inspire us to do something with our otherwise meaningless existences. Time is what makes us who we are. Never seek to betray it - you will only anger it.
