Time and I (Not written by me)

There are times when you want time to just fly past
 and 
There are times when you want them to slow down
or
Just pause for the moment

But
Life has a habit of behaving in a manner that greatly displeases us

It doesn't want to 
Follow your wants
Follow your neds
instead 
Life chokes you
Entices you
to be 
Obedient.

SO what should we do?
In such a bleak world

Nothing?
Seems like a reasonable answer....
and 
Also a most irritating one
 Being denied one's own
Destiny

The time of this existence
Will forever move forward
At a constant rate 
Even though we wish otherwise
Even if we scream
Even if we shout
Even if we cry
Because
That's the way things appear to be

 Sure
Our paintings of life 
Suck.
Nonetheless we aren't restricted to what we do within the canvas
Our very own canvas.
You 
Who can change anything
Who is not restricted to nothing
Raise your head
Move out of the mist
Forge your own art.

What Gives?

What is it that drives countries?

What is it that grows companies?

What is it that inspires people?

There are many questions in life that we never find the answer to and somehow lots of people don't want to find the answer either. Which is quite a peculiar phenomena by my standards.

 Then again, over the ages, many folks don't have the pleasure of philosophising(Australian spelling I guess) because they would always have to survive from day to day. I find they were really lucky that they did not have to think so deeply into the meaning of many things. The less amount of information we feed into our brain, the more blissful it is, then again that goes with the saying, ignorance is bliss. 

We always reach a time in society where we no longer need certain things. We discard our old ways and repeat the errors of old, except this time, we are in a completely different environment. But does it really matter to many of us anymore? The life span given to us by our ancestors is so limited yet so long, if we were able to live "forever" would our view on day to day activities and how we go about things be the same? Would we still welcome the morning as we do everyday now, whether it is with a long sigh or a determined grin. The answer would be no, that's because the value of time would be altered in a manner where we understand we have a longer period thus things would be presented different, Nikola Tesla would still be alive to this day if that was the case.

To entertain so many different hypothesis of the world and its events would never cease to amaze me, we as humans are scared of what our brains are capable of thinking of and also the enormity of the so called reality around us, thus spawned religions (not that it is a bad thing) but hence forth we should be focusing on certain things that everyone should agree on but still do not, we can see it all in everyday life, I'll leave that thought for you all to postulate over.
