All That Exists

Sooner or later, we are going to realize that everything in this world does matter. It is not just the living things but also non-living things like rock and water, wind and sand; they all matter. Life is a composition of all of these things. So far we have been able to evade the fundamental truth about life, but as time grows, it is going to show us how badly we were evaluating our needs against the needs of the world.

We are in a dream world, where we think that our actions don’t affect the outcome, or simply we are lazy or greedy enough to ignore the outcomes because we are not the ones who are going to feel them. It is our children in the future who are going to experience the outcome; it is not us, so we don’t need to care – this idea perhaps has dragged us into doing what we are doing right now.

A time shall come when things will be impossible to change, and the prayers or screams for help won’t just do the work.

But fortunately, the world works by a very simple mechanism; it works by links and connections, the way you obtain things from nature, and therefore, as you grow, you shall return something back to it to grow too; thus the balance is maintained.

And remember, it is not the living things that matter; but also all that exists matters.
