Thoughts

Knock, knock, knocking on heaven’s door...

Ah. Guns n’ Roses. I let my mind drift as my eyes gently closed. Peace and war; the essential duality of existence itself. The ultimate upholder of economic, social, and political balance. Where would the human race be without either of these pillars of society? Imagine if there had been no world wars. Imagine if the British had decided against conquering the world. Imagine if Montezuma had never fought Cortés and his men. Imagine if the Anglo Saxons had decided to stay in one place, happy with their meagre lifestyle.

Imagine there's no countries,
It isn't hard to do.
Nothing to kill or die for...

Love and hate. Equally strong feelings. Powerful. Fickle. These twin emotions rule our hearts and thus our minds rendering us helpless against their wiles. A simple smile can induce a fluttering heart, and then again, it might sharpen the daggers of hate. A wise man has said that the only power one needs to rule the world is the power of love, and he is proved right every single day. Heroes are made and destroyed overnight and the all that the fine art of manipulation depends on is a wayward heart.

Cos all of the stars are fading away,
Just try not to worry you'll see them some day,
Take what you need and be on your way,
And stop crying your heart out...

How does one get over a break-up anyway? It’s silly to think that there aren’t going to be any more feelings for the other person. Everything is the same as before, except there’s a vast empty gap where there were happy memories. There’s a lingering doubt. Hate. Fear. Bubbling to the surface, threatening to burst out. Bitter. Warm and cold. Dry and wet. A new future? There exists no such thing. The past engulfs the mind and soul, wrapping it in a blanket, keeping the warmth away and retaining the cold. Daggers of hurt spike up at the drop of a pin. You think of falling in love with every woman you see. Wanting to push away the memories. Wanting a piece of mind. Wanting to be... you. Again.

I wanna be in another place,
I hate when you say you don't understand...
A place for my head...
