I can't seem to pick one subject out of the many that are wandering about my mind at this moment. So this might become rather random somewhere along the way. Life is so dynamic. This small realization has come to my attention very subtly in the past six months or so. And it seems so simple. Of course it's dynamic, why shouldn't it be? Living beings are born and live and die, ideas are thought of, passed along and either acted upon or put to rest. Things happen everyday. But I think part of why this has come to my attention are the long, slow changes that occur, over weeks and months and years. Life is also a very dangerous thing to ponder. When thought of blatantly, in passing, things become and things decay. Then what is the bother? Why make goals if we are only to die in the end? Why raise children if they are only to die? Why create if these creations will only meet destruction and decay? I would like to believe in the overall picture, its a bit more positive, isn't it? I heard a quote that basically said that thinking of a little philosophy turns man away from God, but much of it shall turn him toward God. The same principle should apply to life as well, should it not? If you think of life in a small, selfish scope, then it would all seem pointless, why live if you are only to die in the end? But on a broader perspective, life does not belong to one person, it belongs to every human being. And the greatest of these humans, I believe, have come to realize this grander picture. Take film. (Yes, I know, I'm a film nerd, but it's a topic I know about, haha.) Before the thought of actually watching any sort of motion picture had even become a spark of an idea in someone's mind, it started years and years before. The idea of watching moving images came from looking at pictures, the ideas of having instant photgraphs and cameras came from the invention of controlled electricity, and so on and so forth. It took humankind lifetimes to figure out how to make a movie. If these inventors involved had thought that they were useless because they eventually will only pass away, they would not have worked so hard and put so much energy and effort into contributing their studies and discoveries. They looked ahead and saw that even if their works would not benefit anyone in their lifetime, they could be passed on through the years to create something bigger than they were. Here I would like to write something about regret. My thoughts are, as of yet, unorganized on the subject. I'll write on it another day. So for now, I hope you enjoyed this one. Comments are welcome. ;)"
