Pkchukiss - Reality Wine

There are always times when you feel like the world just isn’t spinning properly, and you begin to wonder about your life. Just what is its purpose? Why are we doing all that we have been doing anyway?

It was one of those days for me, when I had my beautiful Sunday unceremoniously trampled by an unusually demanding customer. I stormed into the toilet after off-loading the support ticket to a senior (sorry about that!). Over the sound of running water, I clenched my hands and seethed.

I suddenly felt emptiness, a sudden abandonment of ideals which is not unlike being thrown into the dark suddenly while in a maze: for that moment you feel a sense of confusion, and your senses go into overdrive as you frantically search for a direction. In fact, your brain would have been grateful for any hint — just any clue would be enough. But Life, being the practical entity that it is, refuses you the stanchion, and you thrash around.

All of the sudden, you see a path in front of you. It is dimly lit, and leads down a straight road that never seems to end. You see the same monotony of the life you are leading right now, and ask the combative side of your personality: “Why bother fighting?”, and with a barely audible sigh, walk down the only path, only to shelve the bitterness into the depths, where you hope that sufficient Time will bury this dark episode.

Only that despite Time’s efforts, this darkness will return again to haunt us: again.

I asked myself, “Just what do I want to do with my life?”

Emptiness answered.
