Events

[Leon Kinotolian]

It's truly intriguing how a single occurance can influence one's life, and potentially that of others. A mistake, a split-second decision, an emotion, a regret, or even something as mundane and commonplace as a wrong step. One lone event can deploy endless ripples throughout your personal ocean of life.

I don't preach to be the most philosophical individual living on this planet, nor am I the most intelligent or wisest amongst our race. However, in my nineteen years, I find that I have attained a wisdom of the world and life that the vast majority of my generation will either experience when they are much older, or never know in this lifetime. This wisdom hails from specific events in my life, and that of past lives, that have irrevocably altered the way in which I view both reality and fantasy.

I sobered to the irrefutable, adamantium-clad laws of the universe at a young age, matured shortly thereafter, and continue to build upon my wisdom with each passing year, every month, every week, every day, every second. I learned from experience what to recognize as honest truth, and what conceals itself as an intricate lie. With such intimate insight into reality, one fact will inevitably unfurl before your mind and embed itself into your very soul: Nothing is outside of your grasp. A great myriad of goals becomes attainable, for you have learned to differentiate what is real, and what is not. Anything, and everything, can be yours, with determination, patience, and wisdom.

Ultimately, even this truth can become stifled by the metaphorical wrench in your plans, the roadblock in your path. Even this most grandiose of realizations will elude your sight once more, should a single event occur. Everything can be changed by the occurance of one small, unrelated event.

One event can destroy even the wisest of minds. One event can shatter lifelong progress before your very eyes. One event, truly, will rule the course of your life. That is all it will take. That is all it ever takes, every single time.

Nothing can change life's ultimate, and most vital of laws:

Events shape the path that reality takes, for better, or worse.
