We live in a world of contradictions. A world in which to feel love is to feel pain. Where knowing happiness cannot come without first knowing melancholy and depression. Where success can never be achieved unless one is accustomed to failure. Where hope is akin to despair and anguish. Where there is no truth not clouded by lies. Where there is no such thing as good without evil to oppose it. Where life is always accompanied by death.
All he had wanted was to change that world. To make a new realm where trust could exist without betrayal and deceit. Where caring and generosity could stand alone, without greed and disagreements, and raging wars would not disrupt the live of those who longed for peace. Where there could be just dreams... and no nightmares. In his attempt to do so he became exactly what he sought out to extinguish in the first place. His once pure intentions were shrouded by the impurities hidden in his heart. It truly is a world of contradictions.
And as we all know, the utopia he wished to create was is simply not the way of this world. It never was. ...But perhaps one day it will be. But not now, not anytime soon. No one person can change the world. Not even a God. Only when the people of the world choose for themselves to begin anew, then can this domain really be reborn. And become as it was always meant to be, some say. One day, in the far off future, perhaps. But for now, the world will stay as it is, with all its imperfections.

A/N: I was bored and started typing on my phone. One thing led to another... and this was created. Rather impromptu, I know. ^^" Please let me know what you think, and thanks for reading!
