Of Gods and Men

We are nothing but overgrown infants made out of flesh and blood. Steel cuts through us swifter than lightning through air. Think of all the other animals, life was made to be a struggle to survive so that our time is too occupied to master anything, even if we could live forever. The Gods were wise in creating obstacles and rules for the game of life. But that wasn't enough.

The Gods prove their wisdom once more, the highest form of it; humbleness regarding their own intelligence. Understanding the threats of unknowns and unpredictability. Our almighty Gods, ever so wise, didn't rule out the possibility of being imperfect. This is shown by their neccessary precautions when they created the relationship between time and life. Even the trees with the deepest roots shall perish.

Everything you can conjure in your mind shares a common trait with all that there is. The wisest demonstration of the gods was putting a kill switch in us all, and on a large enough time scale, includes the Universe itself. The Gods created it this way for only one reason - as insurance. A timeclock preset to destruction acting as a final barrier against any unknown or unpredictable miscalculations that may threaten their reign.

Our sun which burns ever so bright is not exempt. This too has a life-cycle. This heat allows life to be sustainable. Our atmosphere on this planet allows life to be sustainable. The combination of elements on the surface of this planet allow life to be sustainable. These chains of occurances must link together to cradle the fruits of life. The next nearest Star to us is
Proxima Centauri, distanced 4.2 light-years away. Perfection was taken by the Gods to tie up any loose ends.

As the Gods creation would allow it, life was birthed. From fish to insects, from birds to man. Yet on this Earth it is man alone that intrigues the Gods due to a miscalculation passed over which serves as our greatest strength. The Gods now glance fervently at the timeclock ticking down awaiting the destruction of the Universe. Even if we perish before the time runs out, the Gods will surely tie up the loose end before their next creation. For the Gods know man is constantly exploiting this strength in life. Every now and then, a man will exploit this strength beyond all expectation.

Our greatest strength isn't our numbers or weapons. History is littered with the bones of fallen empires which outnumbered their enemies. The greatest strength of man lies in the hearts of the inspired and determined. Life itself will either condition to break your heart down, or as the Gods didn't intend, with our hearts passion life will serve as a weight to be exercised forging us stronger. It is our hearts that allow us to be foolish, to be bold, to dream. It is our hearts that allow us to constantly disregard logical limits and thrash the rules set before us.

The Gods greatest miscalculation is mans biggest strength. Hearts that burn with inspiration and determination have become the greatest force in all the Universe. The Gods fear this force. Exploit that strength while you can! Nothing is so temporary as the breath you're taking now.

So when life throws you to the wolves will you make bed with where you fall? Or will your heart erupt with a fury of passion? Such eruptions send aftershocks felt throughout heavens. For the Gods tremble in our presence, men!
