I sit in front of my computer screen waiting for a webpage to load, after a few minutes I get impatient and x out of the window and try something else. I wait in line to get my coffee in the morning sometimes it's quick and sometimes I wait close to 20 minutes. I drive through traffic and depending on the time of day I'll either hit a bunch of green lights in a row or a bunch of red ones and then maybe I'll have to wait for a train as well.
We are all on this planet for a finite time and that time is precious to all of us. We all propel forward through time at the exact same speed but any life could end at any time. It could be through accidental means or maybe you might be murdered on purpose. What we all do with our time is up to us and even though I'm not sure what to do with the time that I have, I get pretty upset with all the time I've wasted already.
If you were in a relationship for 10 years and you break up, that's ten years of your life that you will never get back, it's not a total waste because you will have gained some new experiences that will probably help you in life, but now you are starting over and have to find a new person to start over with.
Some people think that if they work on the relationship it will get better, they don't want to throw the years that they have spent on it to go to waste, but there is one key factor that most people miss when they think they can fix a problem in a relationship. It takes both of you to fix the problem, one person cannot fix a broken relationship. It takes two.
It seems odd to me that we go to work, the majority of our lives is spent working, when we get home after a hard days work we sit on our couches watch tv, eat supper and go to bed, and then do the same thing all over again the next day. It allows us to live and have money to survive and have a little fun in between but it leads to a pretty shallow existence.
At the end what will our lives amount to? I want my time to mean something in the end, but I don't know if anything I do makes a difference. There has to be some meaning to our lives, otherwise what's the point of living at all?
