Is Our Time Really Limited?

Is Our Time Really Limited?

I've been going to classes all day and unfortunately it is raining. I don't mind the rain, but I do

mind it when I have to walk across campus and my shoes are completely soaked. Anyways, I'm

not here to rant about school or the rain or even rant in general. I have been thinking a lot

recently, about school and the future. I've also been thinking about this time crunch some

people seem to be on. There is a certain age you're expected to finish school at and even a

certain age to be married, well I mean in brown culture especially. It got me thinking, do we as

people sometimes happen to limit how much time we have to do certain things?

I know life is short and of course our time here on earth is limited because not to be negative or

anything, but it is expected that everyone will die. Whether this be a sudden death driving back

from the movies or a disease like cancer that was dragged out for years and eventually, cancer

won.

We go to school our whole lives, most of us who have the means to go. We surround ourselves

with friends and family, we deal with problematic ass people, we hear about victims of rape

through the news, we even get to witness the era of new idiotic president!

Honestly speaking, life is constantly moving, but are we moving with it or just trying to keep

up as best we can? Do we feel the need to race against life, somehow get ahead and beat it?

Are we as a society ready to accept flaws in life?

See, the funny thing is I always ask these questions, but even I have no clue.
