Attempting the Sublime

Newton had it right when he introduced to the world his idea of every action possessing an equal but opposite reaction. While most of us may not receive our inspiration via dangling tree fruit plummeting our craniums, inspiration does often seek us out in ways we least expect. But gravity aside, physics applies to our lives and life choices. Humans have deemed all actions to fall on a categorical line ranging in opposition from the most morally corrupt to the most conservative prude. And if not for morals, for comfort zones, for cultural norms or for specific upbringings we might discover our world, while full of color now, to be devoid of any such chroma.

I've come to apprehend the direct consequences my actions have upon people and how those consequences are related to a person's morals. While there are set laws and norms that are ubiquitous, some people won't think twice to bend, break, or defy a law while others live a legalistic-esque lifestyle, never daring to go against the higher order. Thus, our morals are correlated to how we interpret someone else's or our own actions and conclude those actions to fall somewhere on the categorical line.

Newton fits into all this because our actions initiate a response in someway or another. The response however is varied based on our individual morals. But if morals did not exists and there was no right or wrong and people just did what they wanted then I wonder what the world would be like.

In the quest that life certainly is, after days of mundanity, replete with dull conversation and negativity, I challenge myself to search for the sublime. In our world, the supernatural occurrences are what bring me hope that tomorrow is going to be better. That I'll one day find a niche and I'll be comfortable enough to settle into my life and be happy with everyday I'm given.
