Time and Perspectives.
Ever changing and yet ever present...
The two things that we are often racing against and the two things that are constantly chipping away at us.
While time zones change as move through the world, our perspectives change as we move through life. They are changing even as we are struggling to encompass our lives into them.
Is there an absolute measure of time ? When there is night in one part of the world, the sun is shining bright in another. Is there an absolute right in a perspective ? Things may seem completely different depending on where you are standing....
But then, don't we all stand by a benchmark? The presence of the sun dictates the day and the absence of it brings on the night. Aren't our viewpoints too like that ? In some ways, we all have an absolute standard of righteousness and morality. True, there are many a gray areas like the dusk and the dawn, but at least there is a sign post to look for.
Time and perspectives.
They mould our lives and they direct our actions. They break through our molds even as we struggle to keep them under control. They change us like nothing else can. They work on our minds and our bodies. They break us and they build us.
Its true that you can escape the warps of time and stay in one place and never move ahead. You can hold onto your views and never look at another. But that's not the truth my dear ! You truly see the world only when you see the many time zones and the many perspectives. You lead a life only when you can accept the truth that sometimes there is no absolute truth.
You need to be a "traveler" to see the world and to see life as it is. And you need to be a "traveler" to accept the world for what it is.
