Falling Apart

Falling apart, declining physically and mentally--these are natural, biological and spiritual inevitabilities for the human creature. Part of it is ordained by our being mortal. Part of it originates in our being chronically depressed. Part of it is that we are so selfless and prefer to stay in that state of hopelessness and arrested development. Part of it is that, as we grow in evil, throughout our long lives, entropy, disorder, destruction and death all arise from this wretched source.

What can you do about it? Resolve to fight bravely and wisely this losing battle up through your final hour here. Get to know yourself. Come in with a plan to bring out the angel in you. Confer with God about it. Enact and live your angelic plan--that is how to love, make art, make money, love others, care for loved ones, and make a difference in the world.

You will still fall apart, but this pattern of decline and finally ceasing to exist will inform your destiny rather than be your destiny. None better comprehends and lives better in the light than he that has walked on the dark side.
