Day & Age

Time changes us, changes our environment and our beloved ones for equal independently on how we conceive each story as foretold.

I wonder on the many ways I've conceived this aging process through many stages of my own life. There was a time in which this was not only irrelevant nor considerable, and therefore not a priority. Later I conceived aging as a maturity process and I wanted to get there as fast as possible just because of being tired of the past stage (therefore confirming the theory of boredom), Each step brought more discoveries, experiences and responsabilities that switched my perspective from time to time. After several years, now I worry for some things I never realized before; and I'm pretty sure this may continue as I go forward...

Things have changed, places are basically the same (normally, even I grew on a couple of points in the world I wanted to visit) and expectatives are to continue this way for some more time. I carry new responsabilities and so I'd like to learn from them.

Maybe with the come of the years this may start to morph again into something I worry on a daily basis, this could be one of the first chapters of this conception and so I would like to remember it as it is.

Stoicism

 

 

Main problem for a man that follows his own instinct; is to pursue the goals of another man.

Unbekannt


Astonishingly delused by a season stranged enough as to pass by without major notice, I took a couple of later valuable minutes to meditate of what is the meaning of our feelings towards the things we don't know.

Rare, yet not unfeasible are some things I have recently heard; therefore making me think on the causability of the universe. A season for changes and contrasts, quite interesting for a quiet living.

I must quote a couple of key aspects of this reflection in the pure form they came to my encounter:


"Strange is our situation here upon earth. Each of us comes for a short visit, not knowing why, yet sometimes seeming to a divine purpose. From the standpoint of daily life, however, there is one thing we do know: That we are here for the sake of others...for the countless unknown souls with whose fate we are connected by a bond of sympathy. Many times a day, I realize how much my outer and inner life is built upon the labors of people, both living and dead, and how earnestly I must exert myself in order to give in return as much as I have received."

...

"Get it into your head once and for all, my simple and very fainthearted fellow, that what fools call humanness is nothing but a weakness born of fear and egoism; that this chimerical virtue, enslaving only weak men, is unknown to those whose character is formed by stoicism, courage, and philosophy"

...

"Faith and doubt both are needed - not as antagonists, but working side by side to take us around the unknown curve"

... after all, it's quite funny to continue being surprised....
