There's fear, sure.
And there's unknowing... okay, I get that.

But there's life.
There's a blue sky outside of my door.
There's yogurt for lunch. There are birds chirping and children playing.
And there may not be a meaning we can see.
But it's beautiful.

There may be people dying. Or crying. Or prying, lying, denying. 
Or an insatiable hunger for power.
But then there's life.  

There may be misery.
And fear, and want, and loneliness.
But there's laughter, and love, and hope.
There is faith, imagination, drive and ambition.
Patience and consideration.
There is unity between man.
Maybe we haven't found a reason.
Or a purpose. But we have found life. And if after everything the world has been through people are still smiling? 
Well then it's worth it.

No voice is too small. Or weak.
And there is no such thing as just one person.
People are out there and living and if everybody thought that they were just one person....
There'd be a lot more people starving. Not just starving for food, but starving for something real.
Starving for somebody to just care about them. 
So there are bad feelings in the world, and bad thoughts, and bad actions, bad people with even worse intentions...
But there are good. There are good intentions, and good actions done by people who decided that life is worth living even if the end is unforseeable.
Balance is not unjust.

It's natural to be scared, disappointed, angry, or sad.
But you put yourself out there and you live.
If you expect the worst, it'll happen.
You'll be miserable from the moment you started preparing for it to the moment it happens and the dwelling moments that preceed it.
If you stay positive, and keep smiling, there's nothing stopping the worst from happening but at least you gave it your all and had a good run.
Then you get back on your horse and you keep smiling and keep staying positive... 
Things won't always go the way you want. Sometimes things may NEVER go the way you want.
But create something new for yourself and find the beauty in whatever happens.
Smile. Smile if only for the sake of smiling.
Because there may be no point in living... but there's even less point in dwelling about it.
