I'm always wondering what is the most equal thing in the world, I mean, to everyone of us. And after a long long contemplation, I absolutely definitely completely decided that it must be TIME. One might argue that we don't have lives of equal length, and that we cannot figure out when will we die, maybe accidentally after a couple of years, months, even tomorrow. Indeed, this seemingly is a quite reasonable and technically true argument, but not for me. In my opinion, time is the fairest canoe for our human nature, the most equal weight of values of life, and the only rail to the paradise of our mind.As far as one was born, one has been travelling with time. It equally gives us no more than one opportunity to extend and expand our lives. We have the same amount of time to study in school, to play basketball with our friends, to travel around the world. We fairly can, at the same point of time, enjoy foods in a restaurant, plays and movies at the theater and warmth of the family. And we also have the equal time for hunting a jaws in the Caribbean, searching for a copra in the Cambodian jungle, and tracing the Siberian brown bears. Time provides us the same chance to make choices at every crossing of our lives and We simply live our own the way we want it to be.If time is equal to all, one might ask, why there's a gap between richness and poverty, success and failure, and developed and underdeveloped? Truly, we live in a world that includes all these phenomena, and as a matter of fact human have being working on dealing with them since we've been created. However, too many accidents happen every day, and we barely have enough evidence to tell whose fault it should be. I care not the grains I consumed, not the length I walked, not the help I received, but the days I took efficient advantage of. A stopwatch is for timing how fast you have run, not how long you've been trained before the race. If in my whole life I even lived only one day and I removed poverty from the human being within it, I would have been immortal. And Kyng Alisaunder, as a terrific example, has taught us a good lesson. During his short but glorious lifetime, he changed the destiny of the world. Moreover, a list of brilliant names is what we must remember: Bronte Sisters, Percy Bysshe Shelley, George Gordon Byron, Vincent Van Gogh, Franz Kafka...The biblical story of God creating the world impressed me most when I read the Genesis. Because the immortal but meaningless life of Adam and Eve in the Eden is nothing to becoming intelligent and wise. One may say they were punished afterward, life being limited for them. Maybe it was, maybe we would sigh for their mortality, but undoubtedly we have been amazed by the magnificent wonders--the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, the Great Pyramid by Egypt, the and the Great Wall by China, so on so forth, made by the hands of their descendants, who passes their ancestors' wisdom from one generation to another, ever and ever...The most ordinary brains hang overpasses above the busiest streets, bridge the godforsaken islands to the modern civilization, and even leave footprints on the moon. Within their immortal lives they profoundly understand that time should be saved, therefore they created another brain-like system--the computer, and its vein and artery--the Internet. Maybe they were banished from the Paradise and became mortal , but since they have taken the risk handing out eternity for wisdom in return, they are creating another. And in their own, they still could survive.Grasp the time and efficiently use it, you will make a miracle. One could not do it in the past or future, but in today. Maybe tomorrow I might die, but today I would make every effort to prove that, I don't want to die!Zorro???? |
