It doesn’t take too much for an individual to feel insignificant. Myself, I was of the belief that some cataclysmic event of colossal proportions is what is required. Because cataclysmic events cause helplessness which brings about hopelessness, which in turn brings about the feeling of insignificance. Surprisingly, in this moment, right now, I feel insignificant and more surprisingly no apparent cataclysmic event of colossal proportions has brought it about. Just an onslaught of some several seemingly unrelated incidents, only one of which will I care to elaborate.
I googled the word ‘pondiferous’ because I thought someone had used it on msn the other day. I didn’t quite know what it meant. I wasn’t sure so I googled it. Turns out, she hadn’t used ‘pondiferous’. I was mistaken.
However, double checking, I scrolled down and clicked on what seemed to be the profile of someone. Might as well, I was just killing time. A shoddy Norwegian imitation of face book or orkut showed me a picture of Sarah. Sarah, who was clearly not from around here, had apparently taken her own photograph, badly choreographed, because she had managed to shoot more than half of her microwave as well as a framed article that was obviously hanging on her kitchen wall… but in doing so had become that cataclysmic event that keeps popping up so frequently in this post!!
People, Sarah who is half way around the world, is a person, has a life. She has a microwave and an article in her kitchen!! She has problems to deal with. This is someone, who I will never come across, but someone that I have been made very aware, exists!! She lives… yet I will never ever meet her. Do you see what I’m saying? Here we are, wrapped up in our own races, pursuing things that mean nothing, when we can’t even see what lies at the end of that mad dash?! May I question the master plan for just a second? Bordering on existentialistic babble, I wonder, is that master plan just something I’ll never understand or will things become clearer to me as time passes?
Guess a month of starving can make a cynic out of anyone.
