Time Changes Everything

Well, the frenzy which I elect to call working in a factory cleaning things is over for a few days. The unfortunate part of the few days off is that they really aren't days off at all, just time away from cleaning food processing equipment in a tortilla bakery.

For me, and most likely everyone else who is employed in some fashion feels like there is no such thing as a break in time in order to be able to chill out and relax. Everything in life feels as though any task cannot be fully completed. You have to cut grass, and a few days days later it has grown two inches because of the heat, and a spit of rainfall. We are always hungry, thirsty, tired, thinking, reacting to our environment/others, and are always curious as to how our lives can improve from day to day. We spend so many years to stay healthy, active, and to survive as a human race.

Yet, no matter the benefits of what life is capable of giving and living for, eventually the body has to give away and stop functioning altogether. Sometimes I wonder why we are even living on this planet, just to see us all eventually fading away. There may be thousands of answers, but that also depends on who you ask and the overall viewpoint you are looking for. It meagrely feels like living is blur of certain events, smeared into a vast majority of memories, feelings, emotions, and sensory experiences. One set of eyes is capable of seeing the world in one way, while the billions of other eyes regard the world in a totally different way altogether.

Could living as a human being be purely defined by the character of the soul which occupies the body, and the actions or intentions of that single entity to create/generate change or advancement within the spectrums of human knowledge?

Life is constantly evolving, never truly stopping even for a millisecond in order for the entire world to function as a whole. Everything is connected to time: the natural laws of nature determine how a stalk of corn grows, how the sun sets and rises, when the seasons change, how the weather reacts in various regions of the world, and even how the human mind functions and can process thousands of thoughts a day from the social environment, while all along maintaining the various functions of the vital organs of our flesh and bone. So much happens within a second, and the events which shape those fragments of time influence all other actions afterwards. To have everything just flat out stop would be a shock to the system.

It would be an impossibility for time to stop because so much rides on the minutes, seconds, hours, and years that have been around since the genesis of all life. Even if the entire solar system suddenly decided to get sucked into a a black hole, there would still be time irregardless if there was nobody to experience such an event. Yet again, the Earth runs within a certain structure of natural laws, even if everything that is happening all at once on the planet is chaotic as a single flame of fire consuming a pile of crumpled papers.

What can be accomplished in a lifetime may very well be a speck on the radar, and even with all the generations of life on the planet the progression of accomplishing the tasks which drive all of us on a daily basis will still be at the same rate of speed as they are today.
