I'm going to play devil's advocate and defend Our Hated Majesty, like Thomas Hobbes, for without him we would have a fate much worse. Life is the pursuit of pursuit of pure happiness, and pure happiness is the lack of problems, but problems are the origin of action, so we can say life is the pursuit of death, and death crowns time. If not under the rule of our dictator life would be a cycle of problems without end. Don't get confused, however, flirting with the reaper is not what we pursue, rather we pursue accepting it, once all there is to work is worked. A death in anguish is not a great death.
Today TV reminded me of the story of Cronus, greek Titan of time who ate his children fearing them, why did he do that? He literally controls time! There is nothing to fear but him! Well, it was justified, time it seems didn't spare even its Titan, as he became a mere suffix among many others. Not even turning into Saturn helped, he became a planet.
You know lucid dreams right? If you focus enough you realize that a dream is a dream and it becomes a lucid dream, and you enter this sort of "nothing matters" trance, I never had one, but I think something similar happens to memory, the less you remember the memory the less you will estrange reality when you stop remembering it. If I start remembering the time I was talking to myself in school, sending a message to future me, then it's just a memory, it was a long time ago and it feels like it was a long time ago, but if I remember the time I was sleeping in some sort of scary house, then wow! has time passed.
One thing I love about places are hallmarks, feeling a place just by looking at something in it. Time also has them, sometimes I have a specific feeling, which can only be described as the sixth sense, which comes when I experience a memory, these hallmark feelings are amazing, and cannot be put in words. The best way to experience them is to freeze memories in some sort of time refrigerator, I use the Earth, Wind and Fire's September official music video as it, but some use photo albums, social media, blogs and whatever.
A thing I've started doing when I'm uncomfortable or unhappy in a situation is telling myself if it will end, then it already ended, this thought ruined my life. It's like alcohol, you drink it, you have the time of your life but then it drags you to hell. It's a poison for the mind, for the spirit, you live quick to relieve your pains but also stop enjoying the view of what's good. The only difference is I only took alcohol once.
I sometimes fear what's incoming, but honestly, I will wait until it reaches me.
Keep going. Show's got to continue.
