Pits.

It saddens me to see people fall into traps that they built for themselves. People are so well versed at digging pits than can swallow their shadows and sometimes possibly even the whole of they themselves.

Hello there, I'm the Earthian.

The transient nature of time is what people fail to cope up with. Just when we think we are settling down with happy stories to share with people and the future, time lets us know, in a fashion of it's own, that we are screwed six ways till sunday. It's funny, because we don't just fall for this once in our lives. An average gullible human being ensures he digs the same pits or similar pits for himself at least a dozen times before he realizes something is wrong and that he needs to start doing something about his venture into the same pit.
Thinking again about it, it's not that funny.
The worst thing is, there are some that don't even know that they are knee deep into their own pits. They don't realize what they have done to themselves until they actually are face deep. Even then, as long as they can still breathe, they let things slip away. It's only after they start suffocating, they start climbing up. A hard thought on the things they are about to do, before they do them, is what is needed. A hard thought apparently takes a lot of time, I guess, for they choose to dig than think.

Lots of love, peace.
