Caring, Sometimes Recklessly

The world can show you how strange and nonsensical it can be at all hours of the day and in anything or anyone. It's just when you begin to form a system or some sort of belief that you can understand this life that it punches you in the kidney causing you to fold over and re-think why you ever got in the ring. You got in the ring because two creatures like yourself were following their biological orders, came together, pushed you out of their genitals, and then went their marry ways. So you're here, get a strong grip and keep pushing forward even if you have no idea why.
Sometimes as you're pushing along you can push into another person that's also just trying to make their way with their head down and a rapid pace. You look over to see who you've bumped into and they return your glance. For a second your mind is void of all of the decaying and absurd creations around you. You look into this strangers eyes and you're gone.
I think we all possess the power to see the future when we look in a certain stranger's eyes for the first time. We see all of the potential, all of the hope, and undoubtedly the chaos. Some of us build this brief vision to be much more than what it was while some of us suppress and bury perhaps the greatest opportunity of our short lived lives because we fear.
It's this fearfulness belonging to the fearful that torches the brave trying to shed their fear. I don't think that the vast majority of us are capable yet of appreciating the world's sense of humor.
Be reckless despite the world's rigged comedy. Care, despite everyone that's scared to receive it.
