Fully knowing the consequences
Understanding the right thing
Yet still unable to move
Impossible to speak
Paralyzed by the mind
Reality is what I believe
Lies are what I don't believe
Thus I see reality as lies
And lies turn into my reality
Such is the power of the mind
Problems are the solutions I don't have
Happiness is the good things I don't have
Life is the excitement of freedom
Peace only happens after a war
All those I don't have, mere fiction
Everyday is walking on eggshells,
Yet accidentally drowning in quicksand
All actions has been decided by the past
That's why everything is on repeat
Am I only born to watch?
It's because you don't do this and that
Oh come on, really?
It's because you don't know this and that
Yeah, sure
If only life is as simple as that
How futile, to struggle and grasp
Problems naturally untangle on their own
As they're mere stories to keep us busy
While one throws their coins in the well
Trying to wish upon a falling star
Maybe there's something wrong
Perhaps it could have been better
It's supposed to be, it should be
No, this is simply how it appears to be
It's just how it looks to you right now
One can't stop the sun's rise and fall
None can stop one's birth and death
Just as how the rays extend in all directions
You too, can extend your rays in all directions
Natural, boundless, and unobstructed
Here lies creation, destruction, and evolution
Just who is the master of them all?
Having more potential energy than a quasar
They're like walking nuclear power plants
Yet completely dormant and tame
Against fire, we can have fireproof walls
For the storm, there's waterproof shelters
Against calamity, there's doomsday bunkers
Yet there'll never be human-proof defenses
Such is the power of those who choose
Whether they want to float and spin,
Become a natural disaster for everyone,
Turn into a beacon of hope and change
Or simply watch everything from the sides
Nothing can stop those who choose
This is your choice, as ignorant it may be
That was your decision, as imperfect it looks
Which no one dares to protest against
Just as how one can't persuade the sun
To start rising from the west
It's not about being rational
Nor simply being emotional
Maybe it's a little reasonable
But it doesn't need any rhyme nor reason
This is how it is, how it has always been, and how it will always be.
"The parameters that coproduce the future are found in the interactions of five dimensions of a social system. Creating compatibility and reinforcing relations among power, knowledge, wealth, beauty, and value produces a resonance, a 10X force that, in most situations, will overcome the most stubborn obstacles."
Hm power, my power is found in waking up early and freely giving power to others. My knowledge and wealth are lame because it's not shared. Hustle culture don't value beauty and thinks it's about being perfect. Only my low values are maintained, like being alive or not hurting others. High-level values like freedom and teaching can't be applied.
It might be better to have more Beauty and Value into my life, that isn't about webtoons and anime.
