jekyll and hyde

jekyll and hyde is a disturbing story, one we all face in ourselves. Now while we fight to find whats good, what's right, what is love and comfort, we lose ourselves, then as we turn in the mirror some time later we relize we are the shell of who we once were and in the process losing all of our good ideology. I believe when we are kids we see all the good in the world and don't recognize the bad, rather we become incredibly excited to grow-up just to find we live in this money-driven, war-infested world of ours. It's depressing, must don't want to think about it and live in our little sub-cultures worrying about...nothing. Benjamin Franklin once said, "Most people die at 21, but most of those people are not buried until they are 70." In today's world, in this competitive-driven-chaos of a world we live in kills most people now at around age 6 or seven, maybe even sooner than that. I too, am no exception to this false ideology and have become a slave to my own desire and greed. However unlike poor dr. jekyll, we can change, or maybe it is too late, too late to become the people we saw as kids, too late to change the world for the better, too late to not only make ourselves but everyone around us happy. I don't think it is too late, however this idea, needs more then one to support the crushing weight of the world.

I agree with you i feel that there is plenty of time to change you just have to have the drive and heart to work your way through the struggles you will most likely face while getting there.

Fun fact: Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde was written in 6 days on a coke binge.
