My greatest fear is not the fear of death Instead, it is the fear of not being heard I am often asked 'What is your most defining moment?' and I am asked as though I have given the question a lifetime of thought and my answer means absolutely everything But I have not; because of the complexity of the question The perception of the question itself is what I question Perception is honestly the most complicated when it comes to emotions My most defining moment? I cannot say Like the good and the bad They are there and they exist as a combination of moments that define us Like night and day Rain and the rainbow at the end The choices I make daily define me, not just one moment. But if you must be given an answer at the time you pose this question? I will give you one, but only one What is my most defining moment? My answer would be my birth My birth is the most defining moment because it is when I began to make choices that define myself Perhaps I will reflect upon this question and later my answer may change I dream that by perchance I may have the opportunity to speak to Death So that I may ask him when my time will come Not so I may attempt to cheat him But so that as my time approaches, I may look back and reflect upon my life for that one defining moment of my life

Complexity Of Perception
My greatest fear is not the fear of death Instead, it is the fear of not being heard I am often asked 'What is your most defining moment?' and I am asked as though I have given the question a lifetime of thought and my answer means absolutely everything But I have not; because of the complexity of the question The perception of the question itself is what I question Perception is honestly the most complicated when it comes to emotions My most defining moment? I cannot say Like the good and the bad They are there and they exist as a combination of moments that define us Like night and day Rain and the rainbow at the end The choices I make daily define me, not just one moment.
