Uncertainty

I don't know where to begin. I don't even know why i'm here. Questions! All questions. All they ever do is ask me things that I can't even answer: I don't know what to do!

But I still creep onto your skin, like an infant seeking its mother. I have nowhere else to go, and it's not I that can abandon you it's only you that can abandon me. Only you that can free yourself from me; but oh sweet child, are you that cruel to leave me behind, here in this dark place? Surely, I deserve some .. sympathy.

No no! Not her! She's dead! Do you see her alter here? No? .. Yes, she's gone. She won't be bothering anybody anymore.

All they ever have to say about me is bad things, like i'm some kind of an abomination! But we can't change who we are; No - Never! Neither can I.

Don't you see? I was the one that helped you! Had it been not me, you would've been harmed, worse, even dead! When making tough choices, it was I, Uncertainty, that helped you.

Now now, Uncertainty - lest you forget, I exist too. I, Fear! I was there when the boy was going to plunge himself towards his untimely demise! 

No! Mother had been cruel when she plunged you and me together. I will have no part of it!! It is only by mere fate that you and me are in the same body!

Yet, here we stand. Where are your manners? Oh brother of mine? This boy must not be allowed to think that we are in a struggle. You must know, we are in this together.

I think the time the boy chooses is near. He won't stay at Origins for long. He will ask questions - questions that can be answered later.

You are right.

Listen boy; Choose me, and I can give you a life of safety. My brothers and sisters; all they'll offer you is promises, but I, I alone can ensure your safety. Uncertainty and Fear will keep you away from trouble, and danger - even death!

Come, take our hand and we can ensure that no demise ever befalls you. Safely tuck yourself in our depths and forget that the world you know exists.

Yes, come and live with Fear. Whoever heard of death with Fear? Whoever indeed..

Go now but be back quick. We will be waiting.

Origins

Consider yourself lucky.

A few years (or months) from now, when this blog is viewed by thousands of others you'd have the special privilege of claiming that you were there when it all began: at Origins.

We all have humble beginnings, and i'm no different. Who am I you may ask? Why, i'm ambition - the only factor that pushes you forward. Fed by rage, inferiority complex, society at large, bad memories and other feelings (good and bad) that i'm certain you've felt or heard of.

.. And what do I want to accomplish here? Influence. Power.

Far too long will you be brushed off as useless, unless you want to prove to the world that you're different. This is your chance, your time .. But it's not just ability that is going to get you there, no sweet child. You will make difficult decisions: Add people to your life, subtract people from your life; Lie, cheat, loot, plunder, steal; Make alliances, break alliances.

I don't claim it will be easy, all I claim is that I alone can pave your way to success. When faced with choice, I will fill you with sound advise. Advise that will keep you warm in the middle of a cold night; Advise that will root confusion out of your life and give you direction when you need one.

Yes, I am ambition and I am the single feeling that will not be your demise. We stand here, at Origins - and I am sure you have a lot of questions but go now; Others await.

But before you go, let me give you an advise - Return back to me, and pay no heed to what others say. My brothers and sisters will whisper similar words to you, but they can't help you. Nobody can - only me.

Come back to me soon.
