Dualities of the Circumstance: Prognosis of an Apocalypse

Another moment is introduced. A rare vision of what seems to be reality resulted into a fallacy brought upon with my own dreams. Yet again I am reminded of the dreadful sight and horror of total annihilation of the world. Carnage, calamities, and catastrophes on a grand scale were indicative during my sleep. All of these details were introduced a little bit subtly. I shall summarize as short as it can possibly be.

I was living on planet Earth. On any typical day, I just go about my business doing stuffs I usually do. What was odd was that I had recurring indications that something was not just right. The surroundings seemed set up, more of like programmed. A loop that never ends, every single day seemed like it was following a strict set of protocol. I soon realized that it was a cycle at its very core. I had to get to the bottom of this, I need the truth!

And so I was on a mission to pursue what was right. This thing that puzzles me needs remedy. I soon found out that a handful of people were hiding and holding the key to this mystery. In the aftermath of my research, an alarming discovery emerged which shocked the authenticity of my very existence. It was then that I realized Earth’s untoward fate.

Earth and possibly the other planets of the star system were destroyed in a massive asteroid shower that wiped out all known forms of existence, life specifically. But centuries before that ominous event, the great scientists during that time knew someday it was going to happen. They have devised such breakthrough technology that somehow recreates Earth in its entirety. Upon death, all animate life forms that have a so-called soul will be equipped with a memory bank containing all of one’s memories a year before the cataclysm. One will be injected and brainwashed as if one still belongs to the living world thereby sheathing him from the reality that one’s flesh is not really flesh at all. A tampered soul armed with the memory of the living. I was one of those lone souls that finally got out of the hallucination. I feel sorry for the others that did not have the will to discover truth on their own.

In my reflections, I looked back on history and how man is dual in nature. It said man is an entity capable of doing good or evil. But the duality I am referring hardly connects to that point either. I see the Armageddon as a blessing and a course. The stakes are higher and the demands are greater if we are to survive in this fantasy. I came upon the greatest realization and revelation of all. Of how the tragic story of the planet never became a story. Rather, an eternal story that will likely never be told in the pages of history lived within me.

In the conclusion of my dream, I was found with a tall building all lit up in the background. I was with someone, a special someone. We were dancing towards a lovely tune. We were the only ones to be in such a place. Tears fell through my eyes as we embraced each other!

As sad as all life ended on just a single day, an immense spark of joy flowed through me. I finally realized that although both of us are physically dead, even as souls our love endured through. And that for me was the greatest love story of all! It was the very story that was never told!

So I send this message to all, love everything you love and love deeply for the right reasons. We are stewards to such a great gift. The present is a gift worth treasuring until forever. The decision to care is yours. It is now or never!

You Are The Reason

Posting the lyrics for reference purposes. Enjoy!

Title: You Are The Reason
Artist: Rhea
Album: Miscellaneous

I
How can I forget the longings of my heart?
It's you I think of night and day.
I know I couldn't touch you.
I know I couldn't hold you.
Though I wish I really could just care for you...

Chorus
You are the reason, the seasons of my life.
You're everything I wish and live for.
Give me an answer, show me the way.
You're breaking me... leaving me in pain.

II
You're the burning flame in my heart and in my mind.
In the silence of the night I can hear you.
My thoughts are all about you, alive and true to me.
But now I really have you only in my dreams.

(Repeat Chorus)

Bridge
Loving you changes everything...
It's giving me the strength.
And it's all because of you..

(Repeat II and Chorus)

…In the Stillness of Time

As I watched you drawing closely into my eyes,
I see absolute beauty without lies
I want to hold you tight and please give me might
So I could cherish this single moment
Just a few more seconds with you
I’d give everything to spend a lifetime loving you!

Sealed within your very being
A faint trace in hiding
I found the miracle living inside of you
The blessing it is to be loved by you!

Wish this day would never end
Time stands still when I’m with you
Come into my arms so I may bestow
Heaven was always meant especially for you!

Everywhere I go I miss you more each day
I miss hearing your sweet voice
Whispering with the lips of an angel
All I know is that I’m lost without you!

The name of someone I have carved
Forever in my heart it will stay unharmed
I always keep thinking about you
Loving you this much is pretty much all I ever do!

I never knew what love really was…
‘Till the day I was loved by you!

Cries of a Lost Soul

Shattered like flux of words roaming around leisurely in my mind, I begin to feel restless of the circumstances. Is this the prize for internal growth? Responsibilities widen and the tasks that must be finished grow heavier. Why must someone like me be assigned of such a burden? Isn’t it enough to just have a successful career to run through all your life? Questions still linger.

It somehow briefly reminds me of Spider-Man though, but with a twist to his quotes. “With great KNOWLEDGE power, comes great responsibility!” I serve as an untimely steward to roles of which I am uncertain I am capable of doing. Self-doubt wraps my entire being. Nature has nurtured my vision in order for me to see above and beyond, well over what average people can do really. But is the inner self ready and mature? I’m hopeless.

Senseless words clutter my every writing. Have I lost the nerves and take the courage to fight? Partly right! To draw strength from all of the things and persons I hold dear maybe just the key I’m seeking for. I just wish I can come close! Close enough to achieve excellence in my own field of undertaking. I guess being a cross component test engineer and a global systems administrator hybrid humbly tortures your head in excruciating pain.

I see the light now! The dawn of a new era has finally arrived! Looking out of the window, the morning sun comes shining ever brightly over my horrid face. I fervently hope and pray that things would eventually work out right. The future seems to draw near!

Happiness: For What It's Worth

Another warm and humid night, I look up above only to see the starless skies. I lit wide my eyes open and notice the cold darkness outside. The feeling is pretty ironic. It is strange in a weird way if so I may say.

I forcibly trap myself upon the inescapable void of my imagination. Now I can see memories and scattered words I can never assemble. From a distance, I see a wonderful thought I will always remember!

“The beauty of life does not depend as to how happy you are…
       But as to how happy others can be because of you!”

And then, I begin to see a reflection of someone…

Life: Its Untold Meaning

“The circumstances of one’s birth are irrelevant… it is what you do with the gift of life that determines who you are….”

It is a famous saying known only to a handful of the strangest critters that ever stalked the earth, humans. These creatures breathe, live, and die with each one passing by getting reborn in another land at another time. Ruling with an iron hand, they sit atop the food chain overlooking those below them. And yet just like every other living thing, they exist for a purpose. The struggle goes on.

There were several theories developed to define a man’s purpose in life. Each varying to some degree while the rest do share the same philosophy. Nevertheless, in the course of my hunger to seek divine knowledge to discern how one can obtain such purpose gave me a pretty interesting logic. In order to achieve purpose, one must admit that he/she has NO purpose. It is only then that one can start looking for possible choices from the ever ranging purposes in life.

Remarkably, this seems to be the easiest approach in defining one’s purpose knowing fully well it is accepted you have no purpose in life to begin with. Do not undermine yourself by comparing yourself with others. It is because each of us is unique in our own ways and that each of us has a different purpose laid down ahead of us. Fate may be a factor but even so, I for one declare that it is the sum total of the everyday decisions that we make comprises the total package that is you!

At times loneliness and the fact that one does not belong to any of the objects that make up society could attribute to a life-changing purpose. Regret and fear may introduce a new set of choices for man. Happiness and glee point toward a positive outlook in life thereby enhancing for a better personality and a different taste for satisfaction upon gaining success. Some of life’s atomic elements that we forsake are eventually realized as subtle components that add up to a complete existence.

Humans thrive upon problems and he/she who has problems is definitely fighting for the right war! It is only by these pressure conditions that we live up to the expectations and rise up to the occasion. As bleak as it might be, it is never too little nor is it too late to take upon the challenge of facing life. Smile and never frown, no one really knows who we brighten and touch with magical accuracy someone else’s emotion.

Live one day at a time. Empower those around us and share the love of God. Without Him, we are basically nothing. Be thankful we can live to fight for another day. While good things don’t last, some even don’t start!
