Real horror

We enjoy horror because it is not real. The fake blood and special effects allow us to experience the intensity without anyone actually getting hurt. However, life can be more frightening than anything in the movies.

There are diseases that cause all manner of misery. Some conditions result in the loss of body parts. And you will most likely live through the ordeal.

When it comes to monsters, humanity has them in abundance. A beast does not delight in murder. However, a human being can rejoice in utter wickedness.

Pain comes in many forms. Whether by accident or intent, serious damage can be inflicted. And life becomes a living hell.

Appreciate what you have while you still have it. No one knows when their luck will run out. That which was given can so easily be taken.

To live in fear is among the most terrible of fates. We all know about what could happen, but it is pointless to dwell on it. Enjoy the unreal, and then get out and live before it is too late.

  1. Yes, the real horrors are not the dying but rather the living with it all. That said, living well is the best revenge against the evils that would have us languish.

    1. Dying is easy... living is hard. We must face our challenges to overcome them. Death should not come without a fight.

  2. Life really can get me down. I often feel trapped in a room that is extremely boring and horrible. However, as of late, i have begun kicking at the door trying to get it to open. I dont plan on stopping till it's off the hinges.

    1. Living is not a spectator sport. To overcome means there are obstacles. Instead of rising above, most people just sink.
