Today, I take the time to write another much-overdue blog. I apologize for the long period of silence, but I find that the desire to write blogs often finds me when I am busy and evades me when I am bored.
To the topic at hand, though is the temporary nature of our world. Just look at nearly all aspects of the world around you: some major appliances arguably are not made to last, marriages are treated as if they will end in divorce eventually, political band-aids are applied to gaping wounds in government, the list could go on for a while. And the temporary nature of some things is not a bad things, it can be the undoing of others. Mainly what I am talking about here are those intangible items.
For an example: government. Issues like illegal immigration need a LOT of reform, and not the kind that can be done easily. The problem lies with the fact that no one wants to truly dedicate to this reform, instead they apply a new law that looks good for the time being. Think of it as a mess of electrical wiring in your house. It’s all knotted up and bad looking, but it’s going to take a long time to sort it all out. So instead, you just throw something over it to hide its ugly mass. Sooner or later, though, it’s going to cause a big fire. We don’t seem to fix things for good, we just put them off until later.
So basically what I am saying here is that we should really work hard to dedicate ourselves to things. In a world where we are programmed to have short attention spans through almost all forms of media, we need to put ourselves in for the long run. I urge you not to drop things, but to work on with them. Never consider something you once dreamed of without merit. Though we only have so many years on this earth, we need to spend those years wisely; accomplishing something rather than simply starting a million other things. It is by delving into something that we bring out its true beauty, whether it be a relationship, a job, a project, or simply a pastime.
