Few Things Are Absolute

"Even Lucifer was once an angel."

Justice is Blind

I hate the news. I hate reading them, and I hate watching them. I'll tell you why: the reason why is because most--if not all of the time--the only thing that makes the news is tragedy. As a writer I understand that in order to have people read or watch what you want them to is to present something that will catch their eye or grab their ear. Sure, tragedy sells papers, but good things should more from time to time. The reason why I never read the paper or watch the news on TV is because I have grown sick of hearing about war here, shootings there, prayers needed, etc, etc. Some people might look at me and say that I am turning a blind eye to the news. I am not; and I am not choosing to ignore it, either. I just have become so desensitized to tragedy that it no longer causes me to react.

"Right and wrong, good and evil, sometimes the delineation between the two is a sharp line--sometimes it's a blur."

But few things are absolute; we can look at good and evil and realize that sometimes even these two can become blurred with one another. What one person might look at good, it could rub against others as bad. I have noticed this during the elections. And no, I am not going to bore you with talk of politics. This is also because politics no longer cause a reaction from me. I guess you could say I have also become desensitized to it, or perhaps that's not the right word, I am unsure. Back in high school I took a "test" to see to which party I belonged, and I turned as a Democrat, then as time progressed, I realized my close family was leaning towards more of a Republican way. I started looking at my friends, my other family members, and I became lost between the lines, so much that I realized I didn't really belong to one party. I realized I lost interest, but not in belonging to a specific party, just lost interest in belonging itself. Period. I did not want to feel pressure, I didn't want to be criticized, but most importantly, I wanted no part of it.

Good and Evil: it all seemed irrelevant to me. It all got lost and blurred.

And then I realized why.

Neither made me feel like I belonged.

Or like I was limited by it.

I became absolute.

In my decision making, in my preference. Why? Because there was no preference anymore. It didn't matter to me.

I became who I was because of my lack of restriction. My separation from conditions.

​And I tasted freedom.
