The white snow covering the barren trees outside my window makes me wonder. How can something so sterile and lifeless be so beautiful? Not even the wind seems to rock the cradle today, everythig is just so dark, so calm. So it struck me once more that humans strive for perfection all the time, trying to build the ideal world out of bare nothingness. To start from scratch is what they say the true artist does.
But no matter how much time and effort we put into our projects, there is to physical way to acheive actual perfection. We will always see scratches and flaws in our work, although many may see it as the ideal outcome. As we destroy the calm void with our dreams, we also seek to destroy the already calm and beautiful world. If we just leave it be, the nothingness would always remain and never be affected by our human flaws, our imperfection. If we didn't exist, our world would not have any flaws, and no-one would be there to witness them and complain. Void is as close to perfection as we will ever come. If we want to continue to strive for perfection, and empty world is what we should be wanting.
