Invincible

You’re invincible.

Invincible.

I don’t think anyone realizes that.
Oh sure, this body might stop working, but you'll get another.
For all practical purposes you are immortal, indestructible.
You’re all walking around on eggshells like you’ve got something to lose here and you’ve got to hold on to it.
It’s burning away in your hands, don’t you get it?
Don’t you feel your fragile body quickly giving way?
Don’t you see forever stretching on ahead of you?

Forever has already begun.

You might think that gets you off the hook. It doesn’t.
You are going to exist forever, got that? Forever. What are you going to do about it?

What you do now has eternal ramifications for you.
And those you live with.
Who will you align yourself with?
Who are you entrusting with yourself forever?
Immortality can be a horrible place.
Eternity can be damnation.
Alone in the dark forever.

Unless.

You gave yourself to Someone besides yourself.

Think about it.

Forever has already begun.

Red Flight

Airplane rides are essentially tiny morsels of communism.


Someone somewhere has complete control of where you're going. You depend on this someone for food, water, even air. Enforcers patrol the streets/aisles, making sure everyone stays in line. They even tell you when you can use the bathroom.

For so many hours, you are part of the collective, a commune, and you abandon your individual rights and comfort for the betterment and safety of the group. The only difference, I suppose, is that instead of working in some government approved work place, you are simply asked to "enjoy your flight."
