The Ranting of a Sleep Deprived Young Man

[Jedal he/him]

Every single human being is the sum of the unconsciousness. Every single decision ever made leads to our conception, and the birth of our souls from the womb of thought. We all sit on a leash of dreams and fears, driven by the long dead stars and heroes of pre-history. In a sense, humanity in its entirety is a puppet to fate. God, or whatever you believe in, created and ended the world in a single moment, and all we do is fuel the fires of a dead engine. To the eye of the beholder, we are wondrous, unique to a fault. But objectively, we are all just reconstituted stardust, our souls fabrications of the community.

Therein lies the paradox of humanity. We are individual, believing ourselves to be the one true person in all of existence, but our oneness with our self and connection to others are chains and ropes, keeping us tied to the puppeteer. As incredibly depressing as this is, keep heart, for we can trust in the movement of dead things to keep our race afloat. Barring any sudden changes at time's start, we shouldn't be wiped out, lest it were for a purpose.

This paradigm, this incessant hum in the back of our minds, drags forth the colossus, for what purpose even the dreaming stars do not know. Maybe we are a cocoon, a garden, or a workshop. Conversely, humanity may be the death throes of some organism, some dying being of cosmic importance. Take heart in the fact that we have either yet to live or have lived, serving as mere atoms in the body of some great work of art. We are a masterpiece already created and yet yearning to begin.

Our existence is a noble one, for we drive forth the world, bring fourth new generations, weave threads and cut sentences short. The lifeblood of reality sits within our fingertips. If one person were to change the rhythm, the cosmic chord would shatter. Maybe that hero who was meant to save the princess ends up breaking his leg and dying to the dragon. Your very existence, no matter how short, no matter how long, is critical to the goal of our Creator.

We are not simply a link in the chain, but each and every single individual is equal to the sum of this journey, in essence, we are all gods ourselves. Within us we carry the past and future, we control the shift of thoughts and words and actions. Every creed, color and gender unites to sing a song of harmony, no matter how discordant the individual notes. Without Hitler, could we have had Ghandi? Without Mozart, would there have been no Trump? The workings of the world are too great for us mere mortals, simply live.

While we may seem to have no autonomy, each and every one of us must remember that we hold the reigns to a cosmic steed. We are sheltered in the actions of our ancestors, yet in our birth we must accept the duty of continuing the chain, either through our own actions or how we inspire others, subtly or not. Live life to the fullest, do your duty. Love, laugh, cry, scream, give birth, lose a friend, inspire a painting, dwell on the past, look to the future. Everything we do is the right thing, so long as you deem it so. Your beliefs are those of the world, and their beliefs belong to you.

Preach it, man!

Jokibg aside, that was true poetry, my friend. Reached right in and pulled the philosophy strings of some internal instrument.

I'm not going to be looking at you the same way again 

Because if that was the sum of you're unconscious, implying that sleep depravity is when the unconsciousness comes to rave.

Then...the sum of you're existence is going to be something special indeed.

Upvotes! and keep em coming!

Thanks  I really appreciate it, I guess I tried to put a positive spin on fate and predestination

Aye. That's what I'm attempting with song-weavers. I would give you excerpts but I don't want to derail  Going to have to wait for me to finish writing this myth XD

I think my mind is somewhere near Neptune. However, this feels like a sermon, not a rant.
