We are here

For a long time I searched to find at least one thing that all humans can agree upon. It was tiresome, and at times terribly sad. Most things aren’t nearly as universally understood as I had once believed. I felt deflated and conflicted. I’d struggle, rummage through old thoughts, but with no resolve. However, it wasn’t until I let myself settle, that I noticed something. In pursuit of a unifying belief, I had missed the most precious and beautiful of all.

We are concoctions, potions, emulsifications of difference and similarity. Much like everything, we exist as transient moments. Agents of a delight we call life. Because of everything that was, that wasn’t, everything that is and that isn’t, we are here; and such is the nature of this grand, sprawling cosmic event we call life. We are here, and no matter what philosophy you subscribe to, I know we can agree on that much. In our pursuit of peace, let us start where we agree — We are here.
