BACKGROUND - CLICK HERE!!!
On the sixth day, God created Man in His own image, now it's up to us to figure it all out. Right... wrong... good... evil... in each of us is the capacity to decide what drives our actions. So what is it, then, that makes some choose selflessness, the need to devote oneself to something greater, while others know only self-interest? Isolating themselves in a world of their own making? Some seek love, even if only unrequited, while others are driven by fear and betrayal. There are those who see their choices as dark proof of God's absence while others follow a path of noble destiny. But in the end, good, evil, right or wrong... what we choose is never what we really need. For that is the ultimate cosmic joke, the real gift that God has left behind, what shows us that we're fragile creatures.
There are many ways to define our fragile existence. Many ways to give it meaning. But it is our memories that shape its purpose and give it context. The private assortment of images, fears, loves, regrets. For it is the cruel irony of life that we are destined to hold the dark with the light. The good with the evil. Success with disappointment. This is what separates us. What makes us human. And in the end, we must fight to hold on to.
But when we're confronted by our worst nightmares, the choices are few. Fight, or flight. We hope to find the strength to stand against our fears but sometimes, despite ourselves, we run.
But, what if the nightmare gives chase?
Where can we hide then?
“I am so clever that sometimes I don't understand a single word of what I am saying.”
― Oscar Wilde

"But what if the nightmare gives chase?"
"To sleep! Perhaps to dream. Yes, there's the catch,
For what dreams may come in that sleep of death,
When we have left this life on earth,
Must make us stop."
Someone is going for victory in MaryamQ's game 😛
Nice article though
