Suggestions for a title would be most welcome.

Most of us enjoy being the center of the earth every once in a while, fully aware of our true calling to be yet another paeon in the scheme of things.

Then they're some of us who think differently. A moment of madness or two presumably grants us the free reign to impart rampage upon a few lives or so, sparing ourselves of any feelings of selfishness or guilt because we think that it's our God-given right, our calling, to do so. In the end, tears are shed, hearts are broken and everybody sleeps unsoundly, not knowing where to move on.

It's amazing how quick you are to repent once you realize the extent of the damage that you'd caused. The hard part is coming to that realization.

Steering through the dreary cacophony that's life is hard enough as it is without people coming in and making matters worse, be it unconsciously or not. What you do and what you say creates a ripple that, one day, will raise a fury so grand that even your dead mother will be popping out of her grave to have a listen. And you'll be at the center of it. Unless you change. Buck up. And fuck off.

There's no point asking for forgiveness when all you have to show for it is a smug grin and an insincere disposition.
