An Empty Life

The beginning is sudden. With a single moment the fate of the world can be changed. It starts with the mating of both parents. They both combine their essence to form a new possibility.

It grows, directed by its parents' history and its environment. The parameters for its life are predetermined, but what finally emerges is an empty life. A void that needs to be filled. A void cointaining endless possibilities of success and failure. Every new being is pure potential. It has endless possibilities to achieve, uncountable paths to walk down and immeasurable effects to create.

Every new human life is a vast ocean of potential and possibilities. 

These possibilities are diminished with every second that passes, every action taken and every experience made. But does the infinity of possibility diminish if a minute is substracted or if a year is lost? Endless possibilities remain endless, whether a human is 5 or 95. 

There is only one real barrier that keeps most people from realising that they have such potential. That barrier is their own mind.
