We all know the story of Pandora’s Box. Pandora was given a box that she was told not to open, or it would bring about destruction on the world. She held onto the box and couldn’t help but open it. Sure enough once opened the box could not be closed. They say that’s when pain and suffering entered the world. What could she do about it? It was too late, the box had been opened. She couldn’t go back and say “oops” and close the thing, it was too far gone for that to happen. Makes me wonder at times what kinds of boxes I have that I’ve yet to open. Will they bring about good fortune? Will they bring about bad things? Will I be able to close them once I open them? There is no way to tell what will happen if/when this curse will come upon me. Life is like that, it can be destructive at times. It can be terrible or it can be good. We have to weigh the good and the bad and see where it will all take us. There isn’t a time in life where it will get easier. Life will continue to get worse if ...
There are a lot of things in this life that don’t matter anymore. Life has a tendency to do that. I’d like to have a belief in something every oncde in a while. I’m not sure where that belief will come from. Maybe it will come from a good place, then again it could come from a bad place of thought.
Thinking has always been a troubling path for me. There’s nothing in this life more overwhelming than thinking something isn’t going to go well. But if nothing in this life matters, what’s there to even care about? Life will continue on its merry little way and everything will eventually come to an end. There’s nothing wrong with that thought. That’s just how this life is.
So here I am wondering about what this life will do to me. How best it will mess with my mind and cause me to have unexplained episodes where I don’t know or have a clue of what is ever going on anymore. My mind will turn to goo eventually, I can feel it happening. It would be nice if that didn’t happen, but who’s to say what will or won’t happen in this life?
Do we really have the agency to do whatever we want when there’s a God saying how things are meant to be? Doesn’t quite make sense does it. No, I didn’t think so. It would be nice if life turned out the way we wanted it to. So many things can go wrong in this life, and they shouldn’t be that way. Life turns us upside down at times. It wrecks us to the point where we can’t function anymore.
That’s all there is to it.
But then again, nothing matters.
