I was told that knowledge was power.
I was told that I should become as smart as I can be.
I need to learn.
I need to remember.
I need to come to terms with the past.
So I can unfold the future.
I did as I was told,
and I keep on doing so.
But these people.
They never told me how lonely it would feel.
They never told me that they wouldn't do the same.
I was never told that everyone else would settle.
That they would find out before me that they should stop.
That it's impossible to learn it all, so what's the point.
If we can only learn so little.
What's the point of learning things beyond our daily use.
What's the point of being able to reason out the functions of time.
What is the point of being able to reason the thoughts of another.
What's the point if I can't use it to help myself,
and this is why it is so lonely.
The one thought that made people stopped.
They never learned the answer to it,
and makes those who keep going the loneliest bunch.
Because to be honest everyone else settles.
Can't you see that's the world.
No matter who they are, they are people that settle.
People everywhere settling for the bad.
Because it's easier to say that you tried and then die in the fire.
Because no one is there to question you about why you stopped.
There is no one to wonder why you do not stop those from evil.
Why have you stopped thinking.
Why have you stopped learning.
Why aren't you out there doing what you need to do,
and they will tell you all the things of what they live for
Or what they live with.
You will see the people that settle.
These people are your friends.
They are even your family.
IT IS EASIER TO STAND STILL.
IT IS EASIER TO ADMIT DEFEAT
It is easier to blame everyone else, but yourself.
As long as you see yourself clear of blame.
Then those people will always be able to settle.
