Justification

Ponder life and it’s meanings

I. Youthful optimism is only rivaled by hindsight. How naive we were to think we would forever be suspended in that state of carelessness and chaos. Our innocence is stolen by an inevitable experience. Unable to recoup, we endure

II. The strongest motivation for fulfillment is regret. Valiantly, we strive for perfection and integrity. However, how commonly we fall victim to the wanderlust of life; thereby, losing the grasp of the perfection we so sought. Sometimes, luck will place us in complacency

III. Imagine death as a release rather than the forceful apprehension of life force. No longer restrained by the confines of physical being, souls reign free — absent of worldly ties. And despite the most common justification, life ends irreverently
