Time

I have come to the realization that while I was not blessed with athletic ability, good looks, a rewarding employment, above average intelligence, a girlfriend and other things, I had something one could consider just or even more valuable..

…time!

I wasn’t built for speed and being quick of wit, in fact I find it downright unsettling not to mention confusing when I have to do a lot of tasks during my day.

I guess that is applicable to everyone.

I see my friends and acquaintances all around me leading such busy, hectic, and time poor lives and I feel guilty that I don’t.

Western society is set up for the workers and working and by that I mean there is a socioeconomic system set up to facilitate this.

Its like Fritz Lang’s movie Metropolis, however unlike the movie, even Christianity has been corralled into promoting employment as being somehow Godly.

Every one has become so busy trying to just survive in this world that they can’t think about what they are actually doing and who they are doing it for.

Some people like being busy and thinking nothing while amassing material possessions, I’m far from being religious but One of Jesus’s best quotes was

“Man cannot live by bread alone!”

I mean when all is said and done during your twilight years you might look around and realize that you are actually surrounded by nothing and are completely alone, because you never had the time.
