That saying has become the excuse for countless people to sit back and remain depressed, isolated, and empty. We keep waiting and waiting, hoping that somehow our arms will be filled, our insanity will melt away by some miracle happening. All we gain is more time to think of our distruction, more time for our minds to flit about like dizzy fireflies and ponder the black hazy purgatorial emptiness.
Yet "Carpe Diem"--Seize the Day! We never hear that, never think we have that power. Our grip is too weak, we suppose, or we will slip off the edge. So afraid of failing, we miss the fact that life's balls are dangling right in front of us and all we must do is reach out and grab them. Life will roar to life. Even failure is much better than this nothingness. Happiness comes to those who seek it, pilfer it from the willing hands of others. "Just reach out and touch somebody, touch somebody..." and believe it or not, their lives will feel just a little less empty as well.
