The Balance Of Life

Today I have felt myself sink to an unusual low.
I have felt pain creep from my heart to my soul.
Today fear has taken over and left me feeling very alone.

The fact that I spent time thinking about fear yesterday is just a coincidence. I woke up this morning to the news that 4 people had just been killed in a car accident. A 15 year old boy, his 17 year old brother, his 15 year old girlfriend, and a 19 year old friend. Why this particular accident has affected me I don't really know. Accidents like this are happening all the time. Perhaps because it happened just outside the town I'm currently in, or maybe it was just the frame of mind that I was in at the particular time.

All I know is that today I have been hit by a tonne of bricks.

Does my life have any value? Is it worth all the pain that this world puts us through? What difference does one life make?

Today I have felt how much my life lies in the balance. How the world controls me in so many ways. It decides what side of the scales the weight goes on. Good or evil. Both sides have two edges. Hurt and be hurt. If you continue to hurt someone you continue to hurt yourself. More and more until it takes over you. Equally, give and receive. Love and be loved.

Whoever reads this I know is someone dear and close to me. To me you are priceless and nothing could ever replace you.
No matter how difficult life may feel at times, how pointless and painful it may feel, don't ever forget that you mean more than words can describe. You are a masterpiece through the eyes of the world.
