A man shapes his own universe by being alone at first.
You begin alone, and you eventually become alone.
But what is being alone honestly?
It's like going backwards to be fair.
You started there, then you wind up there.
It's a demented form of pong, just going back and forth.

But in a way, it can be the greatest thing.
A person finds out who they are truly when they are alone.
You figure out what you are all about.
Are you an artist?
Serial killer? (Hopefully not. But it's cool if you are. I don't judge.)
(Please don't murder me)
Or are you just a normal person?

Day after day we ingest what we are given.
Whether it be from TV, books, movies, etc.
That is what we are supposed to follow, or the words of others.
It is society shaping our destiny for us.
They say this generation and time is the best to shape our own path.
But is it?

You have people everywhere telling you whats right and wrong, even groups that are supporting free will.
Even they are telling you how to live.
Is free thinking truly gone?
Must we all have a hive mind and just follow others or even care what others think?
The answer is no.
But it's what we choose to do. It is natural to follow.

But can we truly make it as a race if we continue to follow?
Or can we eventually make something of ourselves that is ours alone?
Time will tell.
But I tell you this:

Life is a backwards game of fate.
It can only be won by not moving with the flow of the world,
But instead moving above it.
