Your Attention, Please?

The world is a dark and threatening, unwelcoming place. It thrives on entropy and mass destruction. It harbours evil of any and every nature. It fosters degradation and erosion. This world does not know time or fairness. This world does not accommodate for disability or illness. This world exists for itself.
But, we as a people need more than this. We, as a people, need light and comfort, stability and contentment. We work for companionship and goodness, camaraderie and happiness. We, as a people, invented time and fairness. We make room for disability and fight against illness. We, as a people, exist for each other.
This world is unkind, but we don't have to be. We were gifted with the capacity to love and to nurture, to grow and to succeed. The world is dark, but we, my friends, we are the sparks in that blackness, and we must light our own small orb of joy. We must ignite the fires of others and bring light.
Create your own spot of sunshine in this everlasting darkness. Go out and be happy; bring joy to all others. Pull others into your orb of joy that it might spread and chase away the blackness. We have too much potential to cower in fear of what lurks in the shadows. So walk boldly, and smile brightly.
We're all here for a reason. Reasons diverse and temporary as our beings. Do not allow the shortness of your life to overtake you, but bask in the glory of its infinite length. Fill it from end to end with everything you've got and when it's over, sing praise for every moment. But smile, my friend. Smile always.
Laugh and love and forever let the light of your life shine bright in the eyes of others that we may all know your value. Choose to be happy and choose to go far. Defy your limits and create your own reality; it's such a simple, subjective thing. Love; know that you are loved. Smile, and let us all smile back.
