What we call the beginning is often the end. And to make an end is to make a beginning. The end is where we start from. T.S Eliot


Perfection is impossible
Humanity is flawed
They as a species strive for perfection
But they cannot reach it
None of humanities creations will or ever become perfect
Yet their persistence is admirable
Even when they are confronted with the face of failure, they strive on
They are like the dying soldier who lies gasping for his final breath
Refusing what is ultimately better for them because they can’t comprehend
Humanity has embarked on a quest
A quest for a key that unlocks the door to eternal salvation and knowledge
Only, they will never find the key, or the door
For you cannot find what is not there
The key was only a dream created to hide a nightmare
The key is only there to hide the fact that Humanity has no purpose in life
But they still chase on thinking that they can reach that door
If only they would realize one thing
Perfection does have a fatal flaw
Perfection’s flaw is itself
