Potential Story? + Rant
Posted by DustinFeb 14
This.. isn’t one of my favorite literary ideas, nor is it something i think could, or would, make a good book…. It’s just something I’ve thought up, and intent to follow through on…
Kids… Thats all we were then. Before all the dissapearances…the killing. The six of us had never known each-other, except me and my little brother… But If I could go back and change a bit of it, I never would. We grew so much through that, we became a true family…We learned that ” United We Stand, Divided We Fall ” wasn’t just something you read on a shirt. We were young, yeah…but we were together..we were strong.. and no matter what happened, we would never forget each-other.
That struck me as something you would read on the cover of some romance novel though..but I dont really want to change it…
It’s true what they say, isn’t it? That bad things happen to good people? All it takes is a mere moment of reflection for anyone with even an ounce of observance to know that such a statement is true… Yes, bad things seem to almost compliment the good people of the world, searching for innocence and disrupting the quiet of it, turning it into burning hatred, or dark suspision… Pushing people to kill, or to abandon…Some say that death is a bad thing… But you really must ask yourself, Is it really so bad? Does death not free you from the bonds of the world? Yes, these questions need to be asked, but there is no true answer, and such questions are made forfeit to the world’s brutality…
Why must I write such things? I’m not sure… but I know them to be true to myself, and I know them to make sense to me, and is that not what truly matters? that you know and understand what is truly within each of us?
Food for thought, people….D-Ty
( Just ranting, that was…. not sure why..)

First, Dustin, to answer a question you seem to ask several times in this writing, “yes”. We must understand ourselves at the end of the day and that is what matters most. If one were to use a frame of reference outside of his or her own to base decisions on, we’d live FOR that position/person our entire lives, ensentially enslaving ourselves to an unquenchable thirst, and damning ourselves to a permanent and helpless struggle.
Instead, we must find who WE are, what WE want, and how to go about life according to our wishes. The lessons you speak of – pain and darkness, hatred and then death – are all part of the path. I truly believe they are an absolutely essential part, which not only cannot be missed, but also cannot be misunderstood. If you fail, it won’t be within the situation itself, but within your own mind and failing to understand your own position.
The people who understand this, who honestly and thoroughly grasp it, succeed in pushing onward the boundaries within which they operate daily. In other words, they may live more fully.
