4 things I want to clarify

Light.

A teacher of mine once said we see things because they reflect light. Leaves are green because they reflect the green wavelength and my hair is black because it reflects black. Simple enough. Well, think about this. A gazillion of varying wavelengths is a gazillion of different colors. Well, the best I could imagine is my own cityscape - bright and dull at the same time depending from where you look at it. I wonder how many kinds of light there are? Do we see every one of them? Do we all see the same things? Do we perceive the world in the same colors? If not, it just keeps getting more complicated. A billion pairs of eyes, each with its own gazillion of different colors.

Eyes.

All you need is to close your eyes and realize how indispensable it is. It's dark no matter where you turn. Someone is planning to stab you right in the chest and you have no way of knowing until the knife is in. But to me, I'd rather be blind. I'd rather have someone stab me in the chest right now.

Life.

They insist it's short. Ask one elderly, he'll tell you all that ever happened in his 60 years could not even fill half a day's worth of memory. Ask another, maybe he had had a more fruitful life. Do not ask me. All you'll ever get is a lie.

Death.

It is more than just an end. To me, at least.

Perhaps it's your day today. Honestly I can't tell. Only God knows anyway. But I know what you'll look like the second it comes for you. That instant your heart stops beating and - what is it they say? - the image of your loved one flashes bright across your vision. I can tell your death because it's written all over your face even as you live.

This is my curse, I guess.
