Change will always be the constant thing in life and it can mean a lot of things to different people. All that we do undergo changes through a span of time and with that time we get to see those changes for the betterment of ourselves and other people.
Sitting here in front of my computer while composing myself of what would I write, different things came across my mind. One, is when I was at the jeepney going home during rush hour; it is the exact same scenario. Sitting inside a moving vehicle that would be stuck in the traffic, you get to see the society and all the things that you wouldn’t notice at first. As I observed my environment, I noticed that some of the people are like robots and has their own destination. Places that would bring them comfort or places that would bring out the opposite path. It drives me to realize that as we live our life, are we living it to the fullest?
Every day, new stories are told, new faces are being exposed to the society, and new experiences are made. People are busy with their own life and own they can make it through the day. In that moment, as I was sitting in the jeepney, I realized that a lot of things have changed in a short span of time; seconds can rapidly be minutes and hours by just a quick snap. And from the changes brought by time, our knowledge has been evolving since then.
We get to see that changes can be done with us in a blink of an eye. We, people live in a very systematic way. We do things in accordance with what the system is telling us and with what the society is showing us. But with the chances that we had through time, do we really see or feel true happiness? True happiness can’t be measured easily; it’s like defining what love is, which have a multiple meaning to different people.
That moment of realization is what we need in ourselves to search for the true happiness we need. We still have time to enjoy things, to cherish the moment and to live the life the way we wanted to without holding back the tears of regrets. Welcoming changes brought by time and seeking false things to make it right because we always seek for truth. I think we must balance the time that we put to things so that it would not be wasted because it could never be back again. We need to maximize our time before our time flies.
Sitting here in front of my computer while composing myself of what I would write as my topic, I came across that time when I was at the jeepney; it is the exact same scenario. I am thinking of what to write, the time is constantly ticking, without me noticing the changes that happened in a short span of time, I was about to finish this paper.
