irreligious at best.

if the devil is in the details, then is God in the mysteries?

Invisible Children

Ever think that the world's problems are overwhelming? I do. I honestly wonder how we can even make a difference in this world where it's not that the deck is stacked against you, it's more like you're playing under a false understanding of the rules against people who have set up a game for you to lose. Am I saying life is like Vegas? Kinda, except far more sinister.


Maybe it's just me and my thoughts right now, but I wonder if anyone can even make a difference in this world? Raising awareness seems to be the "in" thing to do now, but is anyone really helping? I mean, I try, but I look at my surroundings and have I ever really suffered? I've struggled with drinking a little recently, and a little more with depression, suicide and related issues like cutting, but have I ever really suffered?

This weighs heavy on me because I feel like for all that I have been through I have not known true suffering, and one doesn't have to look far for others worse off than myself. What does this mean? Personally, it means I don't have any answers yet and this post is admittedly bereft of a point so I'm off to visit someone I haven't seen in six months and remember better times. Hopefully I'll be back later to explore this once I've cleared my head a little.
