Write a story or poem titled 'Chains'.
Chains
Invisible binding spells that prohibit our will, our own minds, as most would call it. Every moment of every day, we are nothing more than stimulants for our body and soul.
Our time on mortal earth is nothing but the temporary embodiment of our consciousness, allowing ourselves to experience and develop our own definitions of life. There is much we do not know, and even more we cannot learn.
We have the opportunity to inherit all the knowledge inside and outside the world, yet we are not enough resilient to handle it all. The belief that we can is what kills us. Naivety is tragedy.
These are the chains that bind us from intaking more than we can ever handle in our one eternal lifetime. The chains we endure to ensure eternal survival. But who wants to live that long?
I surely wouldn't.
