You don't know; you don't know anything,
And you can't trust your eyes,
Or your heart,
Or your lungs.

Just wait,
Time will go its way;
Your path will pave itself,
And when the time comes, you'll pass.

Sweet dreams.
Just something I've been thinking about. I've been watching Heros and I can't help but think that their world is too confusing and doomed. Their future is destined to be terrible yet they continue to fight against it in hopes of something better happening.

Most of them just had random things that made no sense sprung on them, the story manages to stay fairly light hearted but if you really thought about it you would be frustrated and depressed as well. They don't know what is real, what to expect, how well their body will hold up, or if it's actually possible to save the future or only delay the inevitable. It's kinda admirable how hard they fight but it's incredibly annoying how impulsive and irrational they are. I suppose you'd need to be that type of person to survive the circumstances however.
