Everything in Moderation...

We all need constant guidance to change our ways. We all need credible references to tell us when enough is enough.

I've heard of this one anchor 3 years ago and it stuck:

Everything in moderation.

When you feel that you want more, think moderation.

I am not saying that you waddle through mediocrity - that is a confusingly lazy interpretation.

Everything in moderation is just a constant reminder - to those who might have needed it - to stop saying "Ok last bite, last bite.." then saying it again and again every ten bites later.

Time Dilation

In modern times, a second is defined as the specific number of oscillations of a cesium-133 atom in its ground state - magenetic, thermodynamic, relativistic factors aside.

Just recently I've pondered why some moments in our lives seem slower (or faster) than usual. A year would seem like a second, some minutes an eternity.

Consider this: we have observed time as an absolute measurement and as a shared perception among sane individuals. Does this make our experiences of "slowness" illusions? I dare say not.

On the contrary, I believe those were very real indeed. During those moments, the cesium atom's oscillations were ignored. It was our pscyhe in control and subconsciously, we have prolonged our lives if only for a moment.

What if humans evolved and learned to hold this "state" subconsciously?

Immortality.

Complacence...

...can be a dangerous state of mind.

It nurtures laziness.
It harbors inaction.
It dulls the mind.

It's not so bad to question your beliefs and your principles every now and then.

It wouldn't hurt to see things from a different perspective.

Now, start with your religion.

Questions...

Are you truly happily?

Do you feel that you still want to have more?

Have you done anything about it?

Did you just ignore it (whatever it was)?

Then, why do you still think about it?

Why don't you do something?

Not enough time?

Don't know?

(Or too lazy?)

Really?

How many more years have you left to live?

Are you sure?

So what to do?

And when?

And how?

And what for?
