Life is what you make it; you have a direct influence on what you are and what you become. There is no fate, no God that is constantly pulling strings to plot out our well being or downfalls. The ability that humans have to be the master and controller of their future is what distinguishes us from the rest of the animal kingdom. As humans we are given the right to think for ourselves and act on our thoughts with a body that we are provided with. This body is a gift, and we can do with it what we please, for it is our life. Life is ours to experiment with. There is no limit to how great we can become, elevating ourselves to the highest plateau and becoming an enlightened entity, or how low we can sink, freefalling beyond help into a pit of lost dreams and abandoned hopes, no longer living, but waiting for death. Life is choice, and choice is beautiful.
