Belief

Leinth was blind, but had seen more than most ever would. Or was it should? She never could remember. Her parents and teachers marvelled at her intellectual aptitude, but remained unwilling to accept her for who she was. And when the mythological source of her knowledge forbade her to speak of it; lest she face its wrath, how could Leinth possibly be both honest, and escape the unspeakable consequences of her telling the truth.How much can anyone change, before they become someone else? What occurs within the human mind, when it is perpetually forced to be believe contradictions. Belief tells the tale of individual's conflict. A life seemingly lived in eternal recurrence. And yet the more Leinth accepts an external pressure to change, the worse her suffering becomes.We exist in a world that allegedly encourages individuality, but only so long as it does not deviate too far from the wider held consensus. For some however, being forced to change in order to align with social norms, can result in repercussions far more deleterious than the original cause for alteration. Is it ever possible for any one identity to maintain its sense of uniqueness, whilst simultaneously adhering to an outward pressure for change. Or is the case, that truly unique individuals are forever destined to endure a path of endless torment; perpetually suspended between an end to themselves, and the very thing that separates from the rest of existence.
