Labels are for soup cans

“Our days are numbered. One of the primary goals in our lives should be to prepare for our last day. The legacy we leave is not just in our possessions, but in the quality of our lives. What preparations should we be making now? The greatest waste in all of our earth, which cannot be recycled or reclaimed, is our waste of the time that God has given us each day.” - Billy Graham.

I protest.

You see, what will happen is, one will think of not wasting time, try and come up with ideas, work up the creative muscle, get into something one likes, will then hopefully succeed. It will/will not go into ones head but one will surely be "into" it. Immerse oneself doing what it is to be done and before you know it it will turn into deviousness which one "has to" do. One will go to a shrink as one does not have time for oneself, one is sick of listening to complaints and issues from everywhere. Then one will listen to someone advising one to make time, will have to listen to things like its not the be all/end all of everything and suddenly one realizes.. I need to sleep and waste a little time, be by myself, do a few things without consequence maybe.. Just be and flow maybe..

Because you see, wasting time does not really mean anything at all. Everyone has a journey they have to make through. On different levels, different paths, different mediums..

Success is just like being pregnant: Everybody congratulates you, but nobody knows how many times you were f***ed.

Time itself means only a certain thing on this planet and in this life form. Atbest it's something of a convenience to meet up in future! Time is when the stomach growls for an animal, when the eyes see for an owl, when the season to sleep for six months comes for a polar bear. Somehow it turned out to be a watch dictating things to man.
