This Wait Is Killing Me!
Which is a pretty scary train of thought if you think about it.I mean, look at it this way, Isn't Life itself the ultimate Wait for Death?For the End?It really is a long wait.But along the way, we forge bonds.Of friendship, of love.We keep ourselves occupied.We learn,we study,we help make the world a better place before we depart.Which all comes round in another conclusive circle,And makes me question,again, the ,eaning, the purpose of life.A wait for the end.Ha.What a delightful pun.It so does kill us.
Now,focus down a little,into everyday life.People claim they hate waiting.Well everyday,we wait for one thing or another.Sure, we wait minutes, even hours for the bloody bus.But what about he smallest period of time,where,indefinately,we are WAITING for things to happen.The smallest Nanosecond,or whatever it's called to take it's effect.Take, for example you are seated on the toilet.You are Waiting for your ex-dinner to make it's grand exit.Evertime you breathe,Hopefully,you don't inhale anything foul,you wait for the oxygen you absorb to power up your functions again.You wait.So,we go down the line,smaller time measurements get smaller, until,yes,Thief Of Time makes sense, you get the SMALLEST possible time extension.So it sorta is, that at one particular time, far beyond human senses,the whole world, nay, the Universe is still.Waiting for the next smallest effect to take it's place.If we somehow were to get power over this, then, perhaps, time travel, would have half a shot.
Then we come to this really old theory i heard a long long time ago.In a galaxy far far away. Well, anyways, it sorta goes like this.You let fly an arrow into a target. You take pctures of the arrow's progress until it hits home.Look at the pictures, the arrow is still right?Completely not moving.Unless, of course, we all wore pointy hats and went to Hogwarts instead of Chua Chu Kang Secondary. The theory states that at that one particular CAPTURED moment in time, the arrrow was COMPLETELY stationary.So, what the hell happened to the progress of the arrrow if it was stationary everysecond until it hit the mark?Well, if you look at it philosophically, no arrows are completely still, that would defeat the purpose of the creation of the arrow itself.That's unimportant, but if you relate the theory to what i have written above,The WORLD is supposed to be not moving at all.Zilch.I am not writing this, and alot of stuff would cease to exist.Growth wouldn't happen,and perhaps,well, nothing ever will.Amazing!The world was never meant to exist at all, yet what the bloody blue hell am i doing here?!Perhaps it really is,
