EVERYTHING MOVES WITH TIME
By Apolinario Villalobos
Nothing stays in its place permanently as
Time carries everything along its current. However, beings with consciousness
and with deciding ability may metamorphose into a higher or better state. Some
may just be contented with what they already are…it is a choice. Along this
line, ambition can push a person to strive.
While some are in a hurry to move on or up,
others who have not learned their lesson take their time which they later
regret because they realized, though, too late, that indeed, they cannot move
back the hands of time. With regret and envy, they gawk at others who enjoy the
fruits of their sacrifice and labor. In this particular situation, I am
referring to people who need to struggle in order to survive, not those who
were born with silver spoon in their mouth, and who could live more than
comfortably even without lifting a finger…they are not concerned in this
dissertation.
Some people thought that they can forever
be strutting around with a pretty face and physically fit body. They thought
that they can invest those physical attributes in gaining friends, even if they
will show abhorrent attitude. They forgot that in time, as leaves and flowers
wilt, so do the face that gets crinkled with furrows and the body that gets to
shrink become humped. Gluta treatments may help but only for as long the
physical make up of a person can take them. Meanwhile, the face and some parts
of the body have limited elasticity for stretching, and the Viagra can be of
help only up to a certain level of ageing.
Finally, the tenacity of man is such that
he practically makes use of science to virtually “perpetuate” life with the use
of cloning. From a minute piece of man’s body, another of his kind is given
life in a laboratory, and so are plants.
But, even if man and other creatures may live for thousands of years,
the big question is, will Earth do?...considering the rate man is practically
doing some kind of self-destruction due to pride, selfishness and wickedness?
