Alone?

A friend was texting me last night and at a certain point, i suddenly realised something.

What is the tipping point of this human race? How has the world grown to become more and more disastrous?

It begins when people begin to be convinced that they are truly alone. It is so easy to believe so.

When we fall to the belief that we are fighting in a fight fought alone by ourselves, here's what happens.

We believe that others are not struggling as well and if they are, how can their fight be more brutal than mine? Impossible.

We begin to believe that nobody shares our weaknesses and so we hide them and would do anything to cover them up.

We believe that nobody else harbours secrets.

We believe that we alone feel the things we feel.

And this is when we begin to become selfish.

Adam blames Eve, Eve blames the serpent.

This is what we begin to think:

I'm tired. I'm the one who deserves help.

What are the problems of others compared to mine? They have everything but still aren't satisfied.

If nobody's going to notice that i'm yelling so loudly here, that's fine. Don't expect me to reach out for you when you yell.

Who am i? I can't even help myself. How can i help you?

I'm good for nothing.

And that is when everything falls apart. Everyone begins to act that way and in the end..everyone simpy perishes. I believe that change begins from within. If you need people, first be a support to others. Otherwise who will be the first to break the cycle?

As a certain song goes, "If not you, nor I...then no one. If we don't, then nobody will. If not you, nor I...then someone's cry will be lost."

How very true. Just because there are some of us who do not show it, doesn't mean that the things we go through are any lesser or any greater than yours. We just choose to look pass these things because there is more to life. More to life than what we think we feel. More to life than what we think we suffer.

So so much to life.

And i wish i could show and prove that to you. The deep conviction in my heart. But i have tried and tried. And it is so tempting to think like the way you do; that i'm alone in this fight. That i'm fighting and fighting but you do not hear me.

But i will not succumb to that. There is still much goodness and beauty in this life.

What can i do to show that to you?
I have begun to accept and learnt that my words alone are insufficient.

I may fall. But i will never give up.

Perhaps, one day it'll transcend beyond words.
