at best, we exist as hypotheses, a series of ideas which seem to follow logically to form a whole. at times they work so well that we forget their true nature and begin to believe that we can work in absolutes. we forget that life will never be anything but uncertain, that it takes only one fallen angel to disprove the whole bunch. that sometimes our field of vision can't contain the whole truth.

after all, even an island cannot exist without the sea. sometimes the things we believe most important can be proven futile by a simple glance.
