God created man in his own image, now it's up to us to figure it all out.
Right....wrong.....good....evil
In each of us is capacity to decide what drives our actions.
So what is it, then, that makes some choose selflessness,
the need to devote themselves to something greater.
While the others know only self-interest?
Isolating themselves in a world of their own-making?
Some seek love, even if unrequited,
while others are driven by fear and betrayal.
There are those who see their choices as dark proof of god's absence,
while others follow a path of noble destiny,
but in the end, good, evil, right or wrong...
what we choose is never what we really need.
For that is the ultimate cosmic joke,
the real gift that god is left behind.
There is good, and there is evil...
right and wrong...
heroes and villians...
And if we're blessed with wisdom,
then there're glimpses between the cracks of each
where light streams through...
We wait in silence for these times
when sense can be made,
when meaningless exsistence comes into focus,
and our purpose presents itself.
And if we have the strength to be honest,
Then what we find there...staring back at us
is our own reflection...
Bearing witness to the duality of life...
That each one of us
is capable of both the dark and the light,
of good and evil...
of either...of all...
And destiny, while marching ever in our direction,
can be rerouted by the choices we make...
By the love we hold onto,
And the promises we keep...
