Time

Time.



We all understand its workings and its function.

It was created by man, like emotions, like religion, to help us comprehend the passing of our lives, and to give meaning to the space we hold so dear in our hearts.



People grow old.

We all understand its workings and its function.

The passage of time is a strange thing.

Why do things change?

Why do they deteriorate only to become something new?

Why does the universe continue to expand?

And why oh why do humans live in a society where expectations change with the passage of time?

The passage of time dictates everything, it is our overlord.

Its occurrence is inevitable.

We age no matter what we try, be it cosmetics, or cloning.

And as we grow, we are expected to do new things, to take on new responsibilities, until we reach an age where we are deemed useless and put away until we die.

The only thing that confuses me is that at times, I don't exactly feel my age. I see people who act far younger then they should. I see people who act far older as well.

Does this give us a way to defeat the passage of time?

Even with the deterioration of our bodies, one can act young. Even at a young age, one can act like an adult.

Only thing is, people are ridiculed for these actions.

Is it such a crime not to be a slave to the clock?

Individualism is so highly valued because of terrible predictions of conformity, and yet, so often individualism is shunned and beaten down.

Why is this fair?

because it happens to everybody?

because age is relative to everybody?

Grow up.

The world isn't fair.

Time isn't either.
