We’ve all been told the stories, the tales, the outright embellished words, the downright existential lies, and everything in between. In fact, when we are faced with time being time, we are often left wondering, did I waste today? That tends to compound and as the decades roll past the question changes to, did I waste my life? Now, I know what most people would say, and I may know what I would say, but as the decades roll past, and you become an adult, and every second of everyday in the past, builds and builds, until it reaches a crescendo of, maybe this is my life, maybe I achieved what I could, maybe I am the man I am, not because I wasted time, but because that I did the only thing I could, I lived my life.
Everyone lives life, and through life lives everyone
And that really is all there is to it, perhaps. Perhaps living life is never a waste of time and if you believe you could have done more, then you probably aren’t dead, so try again tomorrow and fight time instead. Fight it with every waking breath, fight it by outsmarting your primal brain, do what you want with your life even if it means just living life.
Because, at the end of the day, does it really matter what you or I or he or she actually does with his time? Maybe not on a cosmic scale, for in that when faced with the enormity of existence, it tends to belittle what matters. For we do not have brains the size of planets. We do not dance with our feet in different galaxies. We do not even occasionally smoke a cigarette on The Moon. Instead, we are surrounded by people, we love and care, we have friends and family, and, after all, we are human. So to compare ourselves to the heavens above, to say that nothing matters at all, is really failing to grasp what it actually means to be a thinking being.
Being human means realizing your limitations
Sure it may be fun, to imagine what lies beyond the sun. Yet, when it all comes down to it, what matters to most is what happens in those moments of time that are always aligned with the present. So back to the question, does it matter what you do with your time? Yes. Yes it does. For even if you believe, we are just a speck in the cosmic sea, then wouldn’t you have dreams, of one day venturing out there among the stars, wouldn’t you believe that space is mankind’s destiny? You might or you might not but back to the present, the only moment in time you have any aptitude of.
If you make good use of your time, think creatively, intellectually, and use your street-smarts, then doesn’t that tend to make the present better for many others? Doesn’t chasing your dreams and realizing that what matters is Earth and human beings change the fabric of the cosmos, so to speak, and make life better for all of humanity. If more people cared about what they do with their time, then you would think, our lifespans would extend and we would have more time, so to speak.
A life philosophy tends to be about life
So at the end of the day, I realize there are many life different life philosophies, but, no matter what you believe, if you make excellent use of your time it is easy to see that with only your brain, you can turn the tides of the human race. You can make life better for those around you and in the end, that is easy to overthink, but wouldn’t you like your life to be as good as it can possible be? If you work on the present then that well mean, in the future someone else’s present will be an outcome of your commitment to humanity.
