When a man walks into a room, he brings his whole life with him. He has a million reasons for being anywhere. Just ask him.
If you listen, he’ll tell you how he got there. How he forgot where he was going - then, he woke up.
If you listen, he’ll tell you about the time he thought he was an angel and dreamt of being perfect. And then he’ll smile, with wisdom, content that he realized the world isn’t perfect.
We’re flawed because we want so much more. We’re ruined because we get these things and wish for what he had.
