By Matthew Reid » Infinity was invented to account for the possibility that in a never-ending universe, anything can happen. Stars are created not over millions of years but in an instant. Time is only relevant to those keeping track of it.

I have watched since the beginning as countless forms of life have emerged and grown. I have witnessed the birth of planets so desolate that it was almost impossible for anything to ever exist there, and yet life found a way. Life is the most improbable form of existence that there is. Improbable, impractical but always completely possible. Life a combination of biological material and free energy. Random chance and laws of physics tells us that anything is possible and even right now as you sit there and read my words you are proof of your own existence. Proof that there can also be existence elsewhere. Life perhaps behind the eyes, as I said time is only relevant to those keeping track of it.

A single cell forms in a warm puddle but dies before it can reproduce. It's decomposition releases organic matter and that combines with other materials forming another life. This one stronger than the last as the material has now adapted to its harsh environment. It survives for just a moment longer before it too dies but now it has that moment. Time and time again. The formation and devastation of just one cell until the formula is perfected and with everything being exactly as it needs to be the cell divides. Life now creating life. Surviving off of basic instinct alone it multiplied. Feeding, reproducing taking in and giving off all different forms of energy. Continuing to grow and survive it was inevitable that with all of the key elements there conscious thought was to come about. This was the beginning. 

The ability to think beyond survival is something that surpasses just life. It is the point where life stops and living begins. Emotions, feelings, ideas. Thoughts that carry you away. A desire to create and explore. The thirst for knowledge and a want for reason. A reason to believe. To live not just to be. And so a new creation. A man made creation. God. A form created purely of energy and nothing more. Something to believe in. A reason to go on. Most importantly, someone to think of so we do not feel alone. Made omnipowerful and infoulable. Peaceful and benevolent. An answer to an unanswerable question. God is the who, the why. It's all god's fault for the good and it is god's decision for the wrath. God knows what's best. God is no loner created. God is the creator. Infoulable, responsible, unforgiving. 

Created in your own image and then allowed to rule you. The word of god made law. The word of someone completely manufactured now pulling the strings on your existence. Controlling the life that fought so hard just to exist. Life free from one boundary now tied down again by another. If left to its own devices would life create evil? Are the boundaries necessary to keep the inevitable destruction at bay for just a few moments longer or are the boundaries just the fuse for more destruction. 

Build your armies. Protect your walls. Keep your families safe. They want your land. They want your money. They want you to be just like them. Assimilation, the most sincere from of devastation. Take the life. Kill the man. Destroy the land. Burn the evidence. You were never there. They never existed. All is forgiven provided you are the victor. You are louder. You are stronger. Your way is better. Your god is the right god. Your life is the right life.

In the moments of darkness that you face, in the times of absolute despair does it comfort you to know that you can call out for God. Pray to him. "Please God." You can call out and beg for god to appear and save you. "Please God." You can accept that you have no control and welcome the plan in store for you. "Please God." If you hear the words of truth that conflict against Gods teaching do you listen or do you ask for forgiveness in losing your faith. "Please God." Listen to the words of your children begging for peace. Children terrified to leave their homes in war torn areas. Children moments from death because they are starving. Children tortured and raped by people who can not make sense of it any more. Listen to your children because your children listen to you. "Please God." 

All of this I have watched time and time again. Loved ones torn from the arms of those who would sacrifice all for them. Meaningless murder and endless violence.  People giving up. Losing all hope and forgetting what it is to dream. But hope can never die. Hope can never die because there will always be chance and with this chance comes the possibility of life. Through trial and error and countless failure you can see what will never work. In this world right now one person can not change it all. By choosing to do so would mean suicide in the name of nothing. A martyr for no one. A death with no cause.

This choice is the only on that you know you can not make. One person can not end the fighting and stop the lies. One will never stand a chance, it is improbably, unlikely and almost impossible. Yet somehow he found a way.
