Most would rather live in ecstasy than die sober because excitement and the withering flow of blood that rushes to our extremities outlives a steady beat of the heart.
Because everything worth knowing is discovered by discovery not sobriety of the jewel we refer to as the mind.
Because every move that we make, whether it be the slow movement of a blink or the fast motion of our hand reaching for the falling teacup, they feel amplified by the nerves instead of being directionless with the soul.
Because the light dances around the walls like buffalo herds while an aware mind would just see it as bright.
Because life is about living in a fantasy, not wondering if the moon would say hello if spoken to, because it does.
