Instead of a show

There can be no action without intent. The intent however may or may not be as profound as one would wish. Sometimes there truly are no particular reason for anything, and we shouldn't read profound intent into actions where there are none. We have to realise that sometimes people are just people.

But. This is not how we should live. For we must also realise that every action, every word, even thought, has a cause. We must live on the edge, constantly vary, constantly afraid of doing wrong. If we are not then the errors we cannot explain or undo occurr. We have to be vigilant and suspicious, even of ourselves and our sense of morality. We cannot relax, not even for a second, and we have to question everything...

... but we also have to live, and love, and care. One thing that's the ultimate truth of all truths is that love is never wrong. If we base all our choices on this foundation then no harm will ever come. The only way for harm to come in our way is when someone breaks the chain of endearment.

Sometimes I believe that there can be no light without the darkness, not in this world. But I still hope, and wish, for a world where this would work out, for everyone.
