INSPIRE
The Infinite Intention
by Justin Oberts
Men and women lay starving amongst
our streets. Pollution floods our atmosphere,
land, and oceans. Wars consume the lives of
millions. Religions separate populations at
the core of the human experience. Youth
bully each other into suicide. Divorce divides
what was sworn to always be unified.
Discrimination lands upon all of those who
were born with unique qualities and gifts.
The homes of vegetation and animals are
demolished and burned for the “sake of
mankind.”
Yet, two children fall in love for the
first time. New life is born from old life at
every moment. Two enemies reconcile in
forgiveness and understanding. The
discriminated stand together and march in
bravery toward a world of compassion. The
sun still sets each night and rises each
morning painting a picture far superior to
that of any creature. Men and women let go
of their thoughts and open their spirits to
the universe of the present. Laughter erupts
at light night hangouts with friends. And joy
can still be found on every corner.
We live on a planet that is full of the
most vile of evils and the most beautiful of
goods. It has been this way for some time
and probably will be for some time.
Regardless, though, of how our lives are and
end up, the world keeps going, with or
without us. The universe keeps expanding
and creating. It did not stop with human
existence and never planned to. We just
happened to be one of the infinite miracles
of creation and intention of the infinite; A
result of an expanding universe.
Some day each of you reading this
will die, and your stories will eventually be
forgotten by the world, and there will be
nothing left to even prove that you existed.
According to all we know about the
life of stars, our sun will eventually grow into
a super nova and consume our planet and
