The secret of mankind

By Angel Ramos

By Angel RamosPublished 4 years ago 1 min read

"I am just content with the ways things are,

there seems to be a sentiment hidden in the hearts of men,

feelings and emotions repressed but surely alive,

Only when acknowledged, men realize their existential insignificance,

but it may be too late to act then, for the thorns and prickles of time have

drenched with blood the hidden sentiment which now lies in a wide

ocean of regrets and hopelessness."

This is the state of mind of many whom I have the pleasure to meet over the years. It is striking to me to find these people still dazzled by life's intricacies. In really it is not too hard to decipher. It is not even forceful to do it. it is quite easy, actually.

Think of how short time is and by extension our life as well. Should we not do more to live more each day? Should we not have the energy and desire to become more closer to the people we care for and to let them know that despite any differences that they still love each other. And for those who have unrequited love or still in the "crush" phase, is it not easier to let everything go for just a moment and focus on the importance of living again?

Think of how short time is and by extension our life as well. Should we not do more to live more each day?

Before finishing a task or commitment with yourself ask yourself the simple question, why I am still doing this and to who's benefit is it? Is it mine or does it belong to another. Really. These are questions that keep up reflecting about our past as well as our future.

One day, – as with most thing come – people will realize this and will act accordingly.
