It happened to me yesterday, i was reading about obsession, trying to find out about my ideas where they came from, what i suffered from, when i came upon an article about a women who had some very similar issues as myself, i related to her so well, except her issues were much deeper than mine. I sat back and thought, i guess i'm not the only one out there like this... Later during the day i started seeing myself in everyone i came in contact with, the desires, the insecurities, and it occured to me after all these years, i'm not as unique as i perceived myself to be. I'm not great at any one thing, i can always find someone who does it better, what separates me from anyone else, other than my physical attributes? My upbringing? My personality? Deep down we all suffer, we all love, we all hope, we all disappoint, we will all die, we all live...

This world is made up of over 6.5 billion people many of them starving, many of them so destitute they don't even know their own worth. And we all at this moment share the same air and we all too will disappear just as billions of people before us, this soul of mine yearns to know why, yet i can't put my finger on any one thing...

In this life i share with all of you out there, what is this life worth when we are just good but not great? Because even the great are forgotten, when the last human breathes on this planet, it will keep spinning. This time can only be lived once, can it truly be great?
