Grains of Sand

We don't have any individual influence over anything. Everything that happens is because of masses. And that's the only reason why things happen. Masses put people in charge to make things happen. Or masses let people ruthlessly take over to make things happen. No one can change something by themselves. What may seem like individual change from a single person is really influenced by the masses who form a standard of conformity for which to base the level and type of influence or change. The formation of a language is the prime example, for things that we learn or obey or act on is based on our understanding of a language which creates "biased" words. Everything has a bias. We are only grains of sand in this giant beach, which is polluted with shell casings, paperwork, red paper clips, bleeding branches, breaching bombs. The tide's simply pulling and pushing us every which way, and it moves all together without noticing. The overcast skies pour buckets of salt on the gapes of earth. We all pain together, but we can rebuild together. There is no individual, on the relative individual to society. Is that a bad thing? Perhaps not, because we can never be truly alone. We work together without even knowing. Each man is a civilization, composed of customs and opinions.
