The subtleties of life are those most enjoyed, for they are that which most fail to notice and few can enjoy. Even these small temporary moments of joy grow old and unsatisfying beyond the grasp of surprise. The never-ending cycle of unjustified routine grows more monotonous with everyday. Each day decreases in satisfaction as each and every day there grows less and less to discover. Enveloped by day dreams, numbness and a lack of true care for achievement the heart and soul cannot feel whole in fleeting joy and hope alone. Some eyes will never see enough, some hands cannot find what they seek, some hearts can never feel to their greatest extent. Change must come as never before, hard, harsh and painful. The human mind always seeks further into the depths of the universe. But what If our perceived eternity is just a continuation of the emptiness.

I think the 'g' there was a mistake. But this brief work perfectly captures human nature.

That's a very interesting thesis. The question made me pause and contemplate on its importance in our lives. I can't help but echo the question: What if our perceived eternity is indeed, just a continuation of the emptiness? What if it is just an affirmation of the meaninglessness of life?
Beautiful piece. Short, concise, direct to the point; but with a smooth quality which at times, even seem lyrical. Keep Writing!
Love your enemies, just in case your friends turn out to be a bunch of bastards.
Wow that was really amazing. I'll be honest, at first some of it flew straight over my head, but after reading it several times I really liked it. There are just a couple of things that you may want to change, the first being that the "If" in the last sentence should not be capitalized, just a simple type-o. This next suggestion is pretty subjective, but you may want to get rid of the second, "and further" in the second sentence, it just seems to have no use. Finally I was wondering, if some people never get the chance to live life fully, as your fourth to last sentence suggests, then how could life become monotonous for them. Shouldn't searching "further and further" into the world make life more interesting? I may be missing the point, and if so please excuse my ignorance, but to me that just didn't make sense. In any event, the peice was really beautifully written and a treat to read. Write on!
