Infinity, and Change

Infinity is one the most complex theories known to me, and most likely mankind. Most of us can somewhat understand the vastness of infinity, and that it can not be measured in any form. However, whichever way we perceive it, there is never any end, and this is at least more comprehensible to us. The idea is, that there is nearly nothing in this world that can withstand the power of time. And time, as we understand it, will go on for infinity. I am not stating that nothing is infinite, because true love, not infatuation, or lust, but love in it's truest form, will never be able to die. It may be forgotten, or ignored, but the love that was made will always exist, even if it is in a form or dimension that people do
not understand. I can not think of another thing that will exist forever, because love comes in so many different forms, if I did think of another infinite concept, it would most likely be a variation of love, and not it's own unique concept. This post is not about love though, because regardless of the amounts of times I have tried to write about it, I have never been able to accurately describe it. Love exists in the 4th dimension, and no words can describe it.

This post is about change, and to better understand the importance of it, as well as appreciate it, the concept of infinity must be clear (In my opinion).

The average human life lasts about 85 to 90 years. And as I already discussed the inconceivable concept of infinity, a period of 85 years is the exact opposite, it is too small to even describe. In theory, our lives are specks of dust on a giant earth, not saying we are unimportant, just that in time, we are insignificant. And so the things that society has told us to be stressful or annoying are even smaller in comparison to our individual lives, which is again in comparison to infinity. It is not bizarre to think of a problem in our lives as compared to the history of the universe, or the future of it. It is simply a way of coping with things that come up in our lives. Of course, when an event happens in our life that bothers us, we are instinctively going to feel emotion towards it, often negatively. And at that moment, it is the most important thing to us, the thing that bothers us the most, and the thing that will continue to bother us until we find
a solution to our so called "problem". I think that sub consciously in every human being, we understand that the event that is the cause for our discomfort of anger at that exact moment, is not actually of the greatest importance. This is not to say that for anything that happens to you, you should automatically just brush it aside and not deal with it. This mindset will undoubtedly cause you even more problems. What I am trying to say is that when you are dealing with whatever has happened to you, take it is stride with the greater picture of tour entire life. I can assure that most things that take place in your life that have caused you anger or jealousy, did not affect your life one month in the future; of even one week.

So, when something does change, take it as a step towards bettering yourself instead of a negative action on someone else. Friends will undoubtedly change amongst you, people will change, you will lose, fail, and feel defeated and alone. Especially through your stage of suffering will things change, and these changes may be the most important of all. Find something to believe in, whether it be music, art, books, someone you admire, any sort of catalyst that will help you become a better person. This is not telling you to copy whatever inspires you, but use your inspiration to learn, grow, and ultimately improve your state of mind. It is so unbelievably unhealthy to walk around with negative thoughts in your head, because pretty soon, you are not only negatively affecting yourself, but those around you. The truest test of maturity, and a strong personal sense of being, is being able to control your own behavior, and that means understanding that there are things that will happen to you that just do not matter to you; or at least should not matter to you. I will never be able to tell you how to live your life, and I do not wish to do that, but if what I write helps someone become less lonely, or discover themselves in a new way, then that is truly an honor.
