Why should THIS matter?

Everything's a

race,

isn't it?

A race to

grow up, a race to

be loved, a race to

fulfill yourself.

Nobody ever

slows down to wonder

why

we're racing.

Nobody ever

stops to look at the

big picture;

we're all going to

die, anyway.

Why should you try to

care?

 

Why should you

change when

all you'll be in the end is

dust;

exactly what you

started as?

Why should we try to

come together when

that which comes together

falls apart?

Everything falls apart.

We will all be

forgotten, our

actions, our

words, our

morals, our

wishes.

Why should anything we do

matter?
