There is not a lot of time to ponder about the specifics of a life indebted to the pull of survival. What we feel about the definition of our existence amongst the madness of living it, divides the unity of opinions that separates us all from the aspiration of fulfilling it.
There is not much opportunity afforded to come to some form of a philosophical epiphany, to halt the flail of forgotten perspective into an environment which offers little to help those who are lost. Before working on this project, I was many of those lost amongst the madness of life which offered little to suggest its purpose, and to justify its continuance in finding the answer to that very question.
No longer do I follow, or feel need to follow the path of linearity that preceded my existence towards its destruction and only when I came to my oracle of discovery that I saw the beauty within the darkness of this madness, am I convinced that life actually means much more than what it is.
Which is partially the reason for choosing to go ahead with the concept for the video, which more or less represents the realisation of my discovery as to what is really important in life, but through the narrative do I get to shout it out, to an extensive audience, no less.
Life is confusing, as to what purpose it serves us, other than the fact that it gives us our existence and validates us purely from our breathing. Other than that, questions arise from the logic in carrying on doing so, in part to the suffering it provokes. But that's the beauty in a meaningless pursuit I find - you must continue it until you find out why it so was important that you did.
Which the character in the video comes to understand; just like I did.
Life is an astonishing thing to experience, full of hidden wonders not revealed until you're brave enough to make something of it. And those few brave who do, will come across the perils and dangers of a road with no end in sight, full of destabilising road bumps and set backs, designed purposefully to inhibit the scared but constructed to alleviate the brave who want to find out where it can lead.
The road bumps were there for a reason, only once it is overcome, will you understand why they were there; why they were necessary to be faced: why you had to overcome them.
And that's the beauty in the madness. Yet few are brave enough to find that beauty among such madness.
I hope those who watch our narrative, come to realise this.
