All of my life, I have wondered if what I was told was the truth, if there was more to existence than living. What is the ultimate goal for humans, if there is such a thing? Is it to live long, free, and peacefully, or is it to Die knowing that what we did was the right thing to do? Does life begin or end with knowledge? Life began with waking up in our beds, realizing that we made mistakes that couldn't be fixed. When we die, are we reborn, or do we go somewhere? Maybe we get erased from existence. Is life planned out? Do we have a specific time in which we die? Is it possible to die too early? Why do we live? Could there be greater beings than humans? Do they live around us or are they like gods? What do they look like? Are they our creators, our saviors, or are they our destroyers? Have you ever noticed that all cultures, religions, and races have had a story or depiction of a hero or god, someone immortal? Is this a coincidence, or something more? The true definition of a god is a creature of which has control over all five elements, Earth, Wind, Fire, Water, and the Mind. It is said that they are humans that cannot die and have a major impact on humans. To me this is a very hazy description. I want to know more. What do they look like? Can they fly? Do they walk among us, freely, with our form or something bigger, maybe smaller? If they are so godly, why have they not killed us, wiped us from the face of they earth? What do we live for; if it is not to make life more difficult for each other? We mortals are tempted to squeeze they life out of each other, not thinking that such killing is not murder. It is in our nature to kill each other. Is that because of them? Do you think that you have the power to change the world? If you did change the world, do you think it would stay the way you wanted it to be or would it be shattered again? We may think that we love each other, but reality says that we will destroy ourselves with the help of our friends. With all of the destruction we have caused, to others and our selves, why are we not gone? Do they have feelings for us or do they laugh at our existence? Do they have plans for us? Are we being used for their entertainment, their sick and twisted needs? Would we be here without them? Life will always have meaning, but to us it may be unclear. Let me ask you two things. Do gods exist, and where are they? I want you to think about what I've said. I'll let you decide the answers.
