The Sandbox

I know too many people that worry about finding reason. They don't understand that reason is relative to an individual, not a situation. That knowledge alone is a freedom, one many our age should be taking liberties with. What you do and who you are may never coincide, but what you become because of it certainly will. Don't do it if you don't want to. Let's spare religion and contain ourself to this physical world. In the world we inhabit, between the course of birth to death, what mandates must we follow?

Life is short and without point. That fact is not sad.

That knowledge alone should gives license to do whatever you feel like, for all the time you have. If not, you should be ashamed.

Just because you're twenty three doesn't mean you've stopped learning. You studied business - go into physical therapy. You've always watched Law and Order - try out CSI. Hey - masturbate with your opposite hand.

Life is those same stomping grounds we used to play as a child. You see your growth as a change to the parameters. Not true. In the sandbox, you could do practically anything. Confined in a four by four square, a child is able to go to the beach, travel through space ship, and make sand pies. If I trap you in a four mile by four mile area, you'd be lost. That's regression.

If you can't call upon that same spark of the sandbox, where anything was possible, your life will go on unnoticed. Your size will always be limited, as will your time. Be sure to do something with what you have. It doesn't have to count, but it should be yours. We are not born into this world to make others happy.
