The Thin Line



Page 1

     In the silence of a room, in the darkness of a night or in the brightness of a lonely day, many horrors can enact themselves within the confines of the human mind. There are deeds that by themselves seem harmless enough; yet, through the passage of time, events may unfold in a bizarre consequence of the initial act which will plague the brain and destroy the soul. This disruption of rational thought may increase to such an intensity that the demise of our corporal flesh is the ultimate result.

     Time, though it comes from a future full of promise and full of hope, when experienced, becomes part of our history, an unchangeable memory of our past. If the events that transpire are true to our moral beliefs, we are free to continue through life unchallenged, at peace with ourselves; if they are deeds of questionable intent, embarked upon simply for one’s personal happiness and gratification, without regard toward those people that are dear to us, the memories of such actions may become dark passages that we try to eradicate from our conscious thought. For a period of time, the denial of that wretchedness can be accomplished through the preoccupation of the mind, but in the hours in which individuals inevitably find themselves alone, those selfish acts still exist. Although we may vehemently repudiate guilt and defend our actions to others, we cannot lie to ourselves. Each deed bears its own virtues. Some bring great satisfaction and lighten our spirits; others dwell heavily upon the heart, torture our souls, and follow us to the grave.
