As we age, we mature

From happy children to awkward teenagers

We question our values

We examine our thoughts

We thirst for knowledge

We desire for love

 

Do we know what these truly are?

We believe  we can find the answers

Through books, quizzes, exploration

But what it boils down to is

Can we accept the answers?

 

With every action, there is a reaction

With every leap, there comes a fall

With every positive intention, a negative one follows

 

That begs the question;

Does love breed hate?

Does selflessness result in avarice?

Does knowledge open the doors to pride?

If so, then can this cycle be reversed?

 

Can salvation lead to damnation?

Can damnation lead to salvation?
