Everyone on the face of the planet has something they are interested in. Something that..they even obsess over, could be anything from books, video games, movies, authors, girls, boys, pens, cars, it is endless but it is also something that divides us. Before you continue on reading though, let me just make one thing clear so no one gets upset, confused or angry. This is a blog post that will not deny religion but as a means of power, out performs that of a god or godly figure in many religions. This is an opinion of science, so in this writing I am not de-bunking or trying to attack any ones religion. I understand that it can be mistaken as such, but as such is not the case. This also has nothing to do with games or politics of any shape or form or very little, so if you are still interested, please keep on reading.
From what I was talking about before, something I obsess over is Time. Yes, Time, something so simple as the measurement of passing hours, minutes, days. You might be wondering, even more so if you are a member of the younger gamers out there or blog readers, what is so special about Time? Why does Time have a capital T when you write it? Well I will tell you why as long as you sit back and take in what I'm trying to say and don't go over bored with it. See this as..a tid bit for your brain to digest and think about. First off, the reason why I am writing Time with a capital, is because Time is an invention, a name for something that was invented a long time ago.
People can argue about if there is suppose to be a capital T or not but that is not what I'm trying to bring out here, Time is in fact something we created. As a species, we developed this way of measuring the passing years. You might be saying, well what about other species on other planets, they would have Time as well right? Wrong, they won't have Time, they would have something similar but it would not be called Time. They would call it what ever they want in their native language, but then you might go, well wait. Isn't time just that..something that passes by as in, in Time people grow old? First off to continue in this blog I will have to explain, that Time is just the name we gave to this grand scale that is ticking in space some where, so we, as a species, could understand it.
We knew, a long time ago, that we grow old and die, but it wasn't until we developed Time, did we start asking...how long do we have? Interested now? It makes you wonder, was there always this ticking sound that we all hear? Or did the creation of Time spark our doom? So let's go back to the basics here, when humans first came to life on this planet through what ever ways you want to believe, we simply did not know that there was a grand scale of Time. The sun rised, set, over and over but just like anything else..it was just that..the sun moving. Then..like a spark of life, we found Time. The first way's of keeping track of time were classic..shadows created by the Sun, so it's almost like a gift from that beautiful giant star.
If you are the type of person to shrug things off, and all you care about is your next pay check, or your next game, then you really won't care about this at all, but if you are someone like me, you will already be thinking away. Time is everywhere, it's in our minds, on our wrists, in our games keeping track of our progression, always watching, and never letting us go back. Did you even notice that in all the troubles in your life? Did you ever notice that well life might be hard, and the economy might be dropping, wars, that we can't go back? This is what we are..this is the mark we leave, this is your life, my life, our life as a species. Time was always here, watching the dinosaurs even, they just were not aware.
Though look at us, we know Time. That is how great we are, that is our POTENTIAL. We know, something that no other species on this planet know about, we have descovered the grand father clock of life. What do we do though? We spend our Time on worthless matters, over money, fame, is it worth it? When you are on the last few minutes of Time, on your death bed, will this all be worth it? Time does not care about you, or your desires, it just knows that it's ticking away and you are running out. The moment you are born you are put on a limit, like a battery. It might be harsh but it's the truth, you are dying the moment you are born.
Even so, I can't continue with this, because I could talk for hours about Time and what we as humans are doing with it. I guess in a way, I can't blame anyone, it's who we are, only reacting on the last few ticks of our clock. Moments before humans are gone, we will realize what we have done and try to save our selves but Time simply will not care. In this sense I believe that, Time is the ultimate force, it can not be stopped, it will always tick, tick, tick.....what are you going to do with your Time?
