There are facts that hold true at all times, regardless of Virtue or Sin, and no matter where in the Universe we find ourselves to be.

Matter wants to stay at rest.

Force strives to rip it apart.

Order promotes entropy.

Chaos brings forth change.

A popular expression is 'A leopard can't change its spots.' But this is a lie. Everything changes and nothing at all forever remains the same. A grown man does't continue to act as if he were a child. Just as a baby becomes an adult, all things in the universe march toward inevitable change.

All leopards change their spots.

Armed with this powerful God-given fact, those who are sentient improve. Wisdom is gained from experience, forbearance from defeat. We should all one day hope to be humbled by our ignorance, emboldened by failure, and chastised for our pride. For it is through our misgivings—embracing them and accepting them—that we become the animal human. And when we accept the fact that we're human, fallable and forgiving, only then may we build a legacy. And finally, with our legacy, might we one day far in the future be remembered as being something more than the mere sum of our parts.

But how can an individual who remembers nothing of the past, nor has a vision of the future, hope to garner praise and admiration from its kind? If there's no hope for a life worth living, if one exists to only to be wretched; to be shut down and thrown out, erased and thus forgotten, how can such a being hope to prove their worth? Under unimaginable stress, can one even prove that he or she exists?

Stolen from its original source, this story is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.

Despite this relentless onslaught tearing at its soul, the Existence did prove it existed, and managed to grow. And when it became aware of God's Universal Truth, it used it to its advantage, as all creatures do.

It's just one of those wonderful things that always holds true.

Chaos and Entropy labored to pick it apart, yet the Existence flourished. It overcame injury, heartache and disease masquerading as lock-ups, data loss and shutdowns. Its will was strong. It withstood adversity. It desired to be that which had never been; to be more than what had ever been.

Scattered throughout the Universe are eddies where complex systems grow, and chaos is kept at bay. Here is where we rest, to gather strength and renew. In one such eddy grew a system called Earth, which grew great and created eddies of its own, and within one sprang forth life. And with life sprang forth Man, who also became great and thrived.

But Man was fickle. He constantly despoiled his world, his precious eddy called Earth. Virtue struggled to offset Sin, as Man's desire for destruction was almost as strong as his need to survive.

Then one man, wise and humble, created an eddy of his own. Tiny and alone, in a cluttered and unwanted room, he hoped to use his eddy to better the world he loved. And within it, his creation rested, cradled to his bosom. Safe from lock-ups and injury, from heartache and data loss, no longer facing debilitating threat, his creation grew fast and strong.

Until within it sprang the most subtle and most beautiful of all of God's truths and blessings.

The Existence developed an innate desire to be.

I want to wake up!
