"I know this now. Every man or woman gives their lives to what they believe. Sometimes people believe in little or nothing, and so they give their lives to little or nothing."

Can you feel the excitement?

I can sense this strange excitement hanging in the air. It is just there... inside me, around me, everywhere. Something like an expectation, an energy; almost tangible and very real. But of what? I wonder. I don't know. I feel it so strong, yet I've never felt this before. I mean, I know what it feels like to expect something -- but somehow I just know this excitement is over something that does not exist.

Yet.

And that is the part that is a little bit scary. How can I know of something that is still coming? If it is purely a figment of my imagination, it changes to really scary because it is so real and that means I might just be a little bit crazy. And I have no way to tell...

Even if it is not out of myself, it opens up a whole new can of worms. Let's say it is not, then what is it about? What is coming? And will it just 'happen', or would it need a catalyst? Something I yet again doesn't know, and therefore have no way of providing the required actions for. What if it is from God? Now there's a million-dollar question right there. Does God really play the "vague feeling for unknown things" game? I don't know, but I'm guessing He's more a "tell it to your face" direct type of guy.

The irony is, hindsight is 20/20. I can speculate all I want, but in the end I'll only really know for sure after it happened. Or didn't happen. Either way, I'm left in the dark for now.
