Time!
Who will touch you or who will you touch? With how short life is how do we cry the uncried tears, live the unlived moments, love the ones we are meant to love and never go away?
Are we ever at the right place at the right time? At the exact right time and if we are not, how could we possibly bear the burden of knowing we were not there? Do we step in when we are supposed to? Right at the nick of time or do we spend useless moments wondering where to be or wandering around aimlessly?
Will we stand next to each other when it counts or will we turn our backs and tear each other down with every word that comes out of our mouths and with every actions?
If I just wait here for a moment will it make a difference? Will it matter at all? Or should I just keep walking and never take a backward glance or step?
The path of life can lead us on various journeys, its upto us not to be too greedy and stick to a few paths instead of trying to have our hands in all kinds of pots. Sometimes we wander off the path and we find great joy outside of what we planned, sometimes we veer off and find only despair and unhappiness. So what’s the key to staying on the right path? Or of making the right choices? And if we follow the rules closely all the time, when will we ever take chances? Doesn’t great gain come from great chance/risk?
There are many lessons in life that cannot be learnt by staying on the path or having a peaceful existence with each other, but I don’t think we need to have our so called friends tear into us and do everything in their power to tear us down. A challenge would be more like it, I respect the people you meet and from the get go, there are no assumptions, no pretences, we all know where we stand and what we see is exactly what we get.
It’s great that we all come into this life with certain goals but its pretentious to think that my goals are more important than yours or that I am going to change the world better than you!. Maybe in my eyes its going to be more but not necessarily better. Where do people get off judging others not fit for the grand scheme of things, who decided that they knew best and had to punish the rest of the world with their superior knowledge? Isn’t it my prerogative to decide each single day how I am going to live and who I will be accountable to?
Am I taking care of all my responsibilities? Am I making my parents proud? Am I contributing to the society to make it a better place, financialy, time wise and in any way I see fit?
So when exactly am I supposed to please you or gain respect in your eyes? Isn’t it a bit arrogant of you to decide how intellectual I am or what a waste my life will become? Shouldn’t you be riding on your high horse changing the world already instead of concerning yourself with my business?
We tend to forget the magic if it surrounds us all the time and we start taking it for granted and that special touch becomes ordinary. We focus on the things we deem important and forget the human touch… again, who will you touch or who will you let touch you?
I love this quote from the musical, Rent; “There's no future, there's no past. There's only this moment”. We should cherish each moment we have with each other, build each other up in love as we were taught growing up.
These endless tears that we shed, the blood? Will it ever end, this search for something greater than our every day life, will it be successful? Yesterday might be gone, tomorrow is not here yet but we have today to do something important, to be on the journey to greatness that we are destined for.
Happy August peeps :-)
