A Blank Life

When emptiness conquers life, a sense of direction fades in the picture; It’s a struggle involved thus far, that happens once in a while. When one feels discouraged, he takes off and speaks no more; He’s such a hard fellow to know, quite a challenge to understand. When one is prompted to decline like in any mission or task at hand; he feels the tragedy of indolence that negates the action of service. When one isn’t able to see beyond, unable to read the meaning behind, there’s inability to seek with depth as life may be empty, without profundity. When one doesn’t believe in God, especially in his own existence; again, it’s going to be different for life’s empty and without color. When one goes with no sense of vision, he’s confused and against dictation; He wrestles with his own perception life is hard with nothing else to start. But like a ‘tabula rasa’ in philosophy, this word reminds me of my studies its challenging notion to everyone describes an empty life, a blank life.
