Exclamation Time Flies By

11-3-2023

Time is relevant, but only if you do something with it! For even a brief moment squandered is a minute in time that will never be recovered – and that is a fact! So waste ye not the time that you have been allocated, lest you also squander your entire life! For existence itself is but transitory, and your days upon this orb are not yours alone to waste. In fact, they belong instead to a far greater power, and they were a gift that if wasted, is a greater sin than even those that are outlined within the bible itself’ Four score of years (if you are lucky) is a short enough time to accomplish anything at all, so to waste it in satiating one’s own desires alone, is certainly the most monumental of all crimes!

The problem is that many of us are me-ist by nature, and we definitely do not realize the scope of our transgressions until it is far too late to really do anything about them! And once again, and in my opinion, the greatest transgression of them all, is the sin of vanity, and the squandering of one’s allotted earthly time! “For we are but a flickering candle in the eye of existence, with no guarantees and no transitory contracts, save for those that we make with ourselves and “The Almighty!”

Unhappy Life is what is - so be it - and live through it - is all we can do!

Amen HC - Life is what we make of it - and how we deal - with the transitions
as they arise. We don't live in a vacuum - so it is - that overheard verbiage
can be just random considerations - without evidence to support what we
overheard.
-
Extrapolations are common place today and not all of us are on the same
page - as the data read or misread - is based on ones ability to know what's
at stake many times.
-
I've been there and done this on occasion. Misconstrued data seems
common-place of late - hence interpretation can often times be
misleading.
-
The world today - spins at different speeds - and the political issues
of late take a major role in the final outcomes.
-
I've been busy at times - and as such - even I can misconstrue what I
thought I heard - and that leads to confrontations of those who heard
otherwise.
-
The rapid pace of life gets quicker as we've aged. The days fly by so
often now that I wonder - if what's said is of great importance or
just a rambling of things that don't impact my life - rather its a hype
to stir the pot on issues - or unbeknownst - leaving open discussions
to pursue other avenues of thought and circumstance.
-
The days are going faster of late - I'm feeling my age more-so than
I like! Where did all those years go - and why didn't do more - rather
than less then I could have.
-
Reflection is common on us elder's we've ponder our past and
rarely look forward - and I guess that comes with old age.
-
The 'will' as you point out - is needed to expand ones thoughts -
and his/her 'strength' is always present - as we seem to dig up
more dirt to find things contrary to what people may want to
learn or forget.
-
Mankind seems to be more aggressive of late. The world is
spinning faster all around the globe. The torment that many
have to go through - must be damn awful.
-
Religion seems to be a major factor of late. Followed by a
waring nature - which may lead to a quick extinguishment
of mankind.
-
I don't fear death - it's what I have to leave behind - that
will be my final thoughts. I've seen death too often - and it
continues on and on - during each and every day around
the globe.
-
This blue marble we live on looks so peaceful from space.
But the true nature of the caretaker's seems to be expediting
to erase all of mankind of late.
-
It'll happen sooner or later. So what's the fix? If you know
let me know - I'm too old to do anything about it - other than
voice my feelings.
-
Give me Peace on Earth - as we know it isn't going to happen!
Not the way we're going!
-
