As I stood at the edge of nothing, I saw everything.

stand on the edge of a building and see how small you really are and appreciate it.

people are so focused on being rich, being famous, being everything they think they need to be. they always look for the the thing that makes them imperfect. but imperfection is part of beauty. its part of life. for some reason we thrive to find the things to make it better.

what do you already have? why arnt you happy? what happened to the little things in life that make the bigger things seem so trivial. like that dollar that goes to the homeless guy, the butterfly thats stuck in the spiderweb or those smiles that you give to each other that mean nothing outside of being happy with where you are and who you're with.

why does everything have to lead to something? why must we run straight to a climax? what happened to being content and staying in one moment. freezing clocks, not caring about how far you are, how you're going to get back or even if you were planning to go back in the first place?

The title is awesomeness!
Those three opening questions in the second paragraph remind me of an earlier post. About how we heavily rely on technology to move forwards in our lives.
Imperfection does tend to lead to something more desired as you pointed out.

i liked the last paragraph. it does seem like, in our fixation with accomplishing things and getting places, the pleasure found in the process has been lost.
