Time
I've been thinking recently how time impacts on our lives. Quite rightly so, but does it impair our judgement? Does it and/or is it one of those mediums that is capable of doing so. I suppose like much that influences us, it's what things mean to us which makes something more important to us than other things.
Sometimes I wonder if time can influence what is wrong to become right and vice reverse. At times I suspect it does and can be an fact altering phenomenon. I ran into a young lady at work and she was notably upset, it transpired that she was sad because all her friends are all getting married, having children and moving progressively forward with their lives - it seemed that she didn't think she was doing any of that. I wonder how much the fact that time has past and with that time others have got married and have had children will influence her immediate attempts to do the same. It's quite interesting to feel that she may quite well feel that now, more than ever feel that being a mother is the right thing to do, when in fact she's never really wanted to be one, until now.
Ultimately I wonder how much of who were are changes with time. Do we become newer people as we grow or do we keep those fundamental beliefs or do they stray? It might not be an issue as it might be a natural change, one of perspective, maturity etc ... but how honest is this change? The more I think about it, I wonder if desperation sets in as we rather subjectively, with the aid of time, realise we've done nothing with our lives.
I wonder that if it's natural or not. I think it is. And are all effects of the natural world bad or good. Tendency I think I'd that people that everything natural and plays it role naturally is good. in which case this seeming desperation is quite fine and it should change our minds and beliefs such as the need to settle down, have children etc...
On the other hand - is time betraying us, changing our core beliefs? I don't know however I tend to feel that the natural tendency is warranted and ok but there a portion of my being that feels that fundamentally this is wrong.
It seems that I stand on the side that says if you change your mind, you've changed it so there you go, what gives, gives. It's a purely reaction to how one feels at any point in time, whether modified by external influences or not - ones mind and choice is yours.
I'm worried however by this tendency to change and how equipped we are to follow through with this change and maintain it as we live from that point onwards. Sometimes I thing time changes our minds but we wise up later and either regret or embrace it.
