Time and tide waits for no man

I do care. It's just that if you don't find me, then I won't find you.

It's funny how time never hasten or slows down but in our mind we refuse to believe. We still like the notion of 'time flies' and 'times a standstill'. It makes us think that we have control over time. But who are we kidding?

Today my cuz asked me if I'm ready to study again. Truthfully, no.

I can't deny a part of me that yearns for a change of routine and another part that craves knowledge. Yet the timid side of me manages to numb the excitement.

Some things you have to believe. Others are puzzles, puzzling me.

School starts soon. In a months time. Just how much of juggling needs to be done? Time certainly won't be stalling for yours truly to get a hold of his life. And neither will it stall for you.

But when a conversation revolves around the topic of time, there's bound to be someone to just end it all by just saying 'that's life'. Come to think of it, who's life are we talking about? Clearly no one lead identical lives. You have your routine, and I have mine. But no one can disagree that we have become slaves to time, other than being held captive by money.

It's the world that we live in, an accelerating world. This scares me to see what the future holds for mankind.

Am I being philosophical? I sometimes like to be so. In life you have to know your heading, your backups, your resources, your flaws, your friends. It sorts of makes the journey easier.

I don't wish to talk about the time vs friends issues that haunts our minds at this age. I guess everybody knows what I'm talking about.

Working in a place where education is not a key factor in getting the job done, I got to learn a lot from the people there. People who don't want me to make the same mistake as them. One of which I could not forget, goes something like this...

"... now that you've worked in this kind of job, when you get to higher position, you know how people at the bottom feels. Because you've been down there yourself, you have experienced it first hand the helplessness of our situation..."

Ya, I edited some parts but the gist is there. I couldnt agree more.

Today I felt philosophical. Maybe it was the chatting with Az, or maybe some other recent developments.
