A Matter of Time...

Have you ever sat down and just wondered where time goes? There are so many seconds to so many days that just blow past us without us even bothering to acknowledge their importance. I never really gave it much thought until I pondered making time for the next random thought to post on my blog.

If we are meant to make every second count, then A) How do we choose what a worthy use of our time is and B) Who is to say we are right or wrong?

There are so many things that we could be doing with our time. It could be a simple blog, or perhaps chasing an answer to some deep question. Maybe we are supposed to be productive with every second or get something positive done so that we can leave our mark on this planet. But then again, when our time is up, our lives are nothing more than a second to the World we live in. Is it any wonder why there are never enough hours in a day? We pursue so many things that we don't stop to take notice of the individual seconds that go by that are meant for us to simply enjoy life.

I'd never say there is only one right way to live your life, but letting it go by without realizing the amazing things that happen every second of every day, is just wrong. And maybe not morally, but we can't truly appreciate all of the things that life provides until we can stop and look around. I mean... when was the last time you were actually alone in peace? I mean REALLY alone. No phone, no radio, no TV no sound of civilization. We are bothered by so many things that when we should be able to stop and appreciate beauty we are instead trying to fight off the demands on our time.

The old adage is simple, "Time is Money" but how many times have you seen pennies thrown about the ground because they aren't worth it or because it isn't "worth your time" to pick it up? If we are so careless with the actual currency, then how much more careless are we with the seconds we let slip by?

But after we find that noble cause, after we find what makes us tick... Then what? Who determines how we have spent our time on earth?

I don't want 15 minutes of fame... I just want 15 minutes to myself. My life is short enough already, I don't need other people spending my time for me.

I don't have any answers here, just questions. I'm freakin' tired... and every second staring at my hopeless blog is a second I could have been appreciating the beauty of sleep. G'night.
