Travelers

Disaster has struck and the infrastructure of our society has come tumbling down, decisions have been made to restore peace and stability. The devastation was long lasting. How can one restore peace when this was a failure to mankind? Weeks, months and years have passed and the restoration of our world is still in progress, the resources have been stretched to their limits. The people have been fighting to save their own existence. Families were destroyed and unclaimed children left behind, the religious ones have preached about the coming danger for ages but have never once seen their own fate. The mockery of love and marriage still carries its weight and the consequences still lie in place.

There comes a time when the chosen ones have to rise up through the midst of despair, to remind us of our true purpose. The message of the Universe is unity, love, and not individuality. There are many things in this world that rely on the other and we are one of the most important ones. The ones that are left behind are no different from us, they are key parts to our existence. Love has been broken down to categories and various definitions, but there is no such thing. Love has never been a feeling, it is an act of equality. Equality stands for all and does not believe in favoring any. Under one Heaven, one Universe, Love is the ultimate act of standing to all and everyone's call without prejudice. Love is never failing and carries no penalties, it is everlasting. For many ages families have stuck to their own and separated themselves, as defined as taking care of their own. If taking care of your own is our answer, then how long do we expect to go on?

A stranger is your family, a man of foreign culture is your brother, and even the homeless on the road your brother. We are responsible for each and every one and not for ourselves. The question is, who do you think you are? The moment you start caring only for the circle you came from is the moment you lose your humanity. We are human.
