Reach

Bleach
The soul has no color
Leech
A parasite like civilisation
Teach
And give away all your secrets?
Reach
Attain, and always want to reach for more?

Or never attain what you're reaching for?

Must we still reach?

Or is the other option death?

Hope: the illusion that you'll reach what you're reaching for

Despair: the realization that what your reaching for is unattainable,
Or, that you'll always be reaching for something more

End, or begin again, anew:
Broken passages about different things, are they only seemingly different when in fact have the potential to be related or are they actually so distant as to be truly separate topics? If you have read my previous writings you would know the answer to this before reading it, but I will answer it just in case, even before you read the next passage: I believe everything can be related in some way to everything else, everything affects everything else, all things are connected, all things are one and many and so things are all the same and all different, just as, as I have previously stated, there is a proximity in distance and a distance in proximity. Anyway,

Why do we presume that if we could turn back time we would certainly be able to redo the situation in a better way? Perhaps what we wish we should have done in fact would have turned out for the worse. Regret seems to be pointless for we never really know what would have happened if we had done something differently and whether it would have been for the better as we presume. The best thing to do is to not do anything that you would regret, but this is impossible: if you and a member of the opposite sex are flirting and the right moment arrives to initiate and you don't act on it you will regret not having acted on it while if you do initiate and he/she rejects you or the relationship ends quickly or badly with alot of pain throughout and after you would regret and wish you had never initiated. But just believing that you did the right thing, convincing yourself that you did what you wanted to do, and that doing something different would have been for the worse, is the best way to avoid regret.

And forgive yourself, if you truly believe you did the wrong thing, or didn't do what you should've done, and escape your regret. We always ask God for forgiveness, basically asking the other for forgiveness because we value ourselves as we think the other values us, and we need God's forgiveness to forgive ourselves. Forget the other in this way and rely on the self, the most important person, and if you can forgive yourself you are truly forgiven, which is so necessary for finding peace.

If we could turn back time. How about reverse time so that we are born at death and life ends back in the womb? In a sense it would be the same for, apart from dying in an accident at a young age, you would lose your intelligence at both ends and eventually would not be able to speak before dying. Although getting younger would probably be nicer that getting older, although you would have to wait a while to reach the age you wish you could stay at. You would reach it and it would be gone, either way. You would start out stupid, then become really intelligent and full of experience only to lose your intelligence and experience continuously if it were reversed. So much more. I think nature made it the best way, as

with the passage of time we realize that the way it was created and has evolved, the way things are and have become, was, by the fates, so wisely decreed, is the way it was meant to be and the best way it could have turned out: cease worry and regret for each thing that has occured was for the better, however bad you believe it was, or to put it as Yoda would: for for the better each thing turns out.

Thank you for your time, I hope you enjoyed the game: how do the two parts relate to each other? The first is tragic and the second is hope-giving. They are two sides of the coin of life: although we are destined to despair over not being able to reach our goal or always having a new goal to strive for, we must enjoy the process towards each goal's attainment and cancel out the rest that could hurt us along the way. Pessimism turns into Optimism, hope is no longer needed because we are sure we will attain our goals or not worry about not attaining them. No longer will we allow regret to smother us, but we will enter each new second confident and assured. Life is Joyous.
