Some random stuff I wrote the other night, thought I would share it with you :)

Life is love, both are games, some are winners and others are losers. Some know their goal and others aren’t so lucky. A person’s life is defined by a series of decisions, shaped and molded by the most minute of changes in direction. I’ve heard stories of people who have been inspired by something as beautiful yet simplistic as a butterfly floating by on the gloomiest of days, and changing their life dramatically. Cause and effect. Such a thing can remind a man of their purpose, the purpose for which we were created.
I find myself watching creatures, all shapes and sizes, wandering if they feel what I feel. Do they love? Have they ever experienced the anxiety, pain and anger I experience every day? Is an Ants life really as simple as we are lead to believe? Are their only purposes in life really just to; collect food, find a mate and pass away? They have no money worries, no family problems, no emotion, nothing to hold them back. I ask myself, are humans truly the lucky species, the ones that got the break? I wander if there is any need for a civilized species, an intelligent race. What makes us different? There are many questions in life that can’t be answered in words and I believe a human’s biggest purpose is to find our unique answers.
Mother earth would survive without the human race and we need to be reminded, nature would thrive. We have no distinct purpose. Bee’s pollinate plants, a tree produces oxygen and sparrows spread seed from garden to garden. Without these species, nature would struggle. Its daunting to think that nothing, absolutely nothing but our own, rely on humans. In fact all we do is set about to destroy what has taking millions of years to create.
Before our discovery of tools, man was nothing, nothing but another species living in equality in an undisturbed food chain with every other. Back then we had a purpose, we were pray, born and bred simply to provide food for those higher up in the ranking. What gave us the pleasure of evolving into a superior? What sparked our brains to develop? How did we break our mould? Did we truly change for the better?
