Too Cool To Chill
When does it become, ‘to cool to chill’ in one’s life era? When is it a bit of a burden to be associated with your parents, at a digital level anyhow?
As time goes by and parents lurch towards that small light at the end of the proverbial tunnel, we as children listen to what they say but take this as mumblings which ‘does not compute.’ Time does this and there are different overlaps for us all.
We as moms and dads look upon our children as information sponges and while they are young they will enthuse and hang on every word we have to say. Then as time passes there is an overlap in knowledge for them that will surpass our own understanding of life and everything and our offspring run off into the future with it. Leaving us to comment,” I don’t really understand that.”
Some would argue that that is the norm since time immemorial and children must always surpass us otherwise there may be period of non development. Change becomes an ugly word, we all dress the same, have the same computer, watch the same programmes? Hey wait a minute; I am not going to stand for it! I am over here!
It does often take a change to make a change and for this we need a change agent so rather than keeping quiet and wait for the drop off point I have decided to speak up, make a mark, shout out to whoever will listen. I would rather be remembered as someone who had a crazy idea than be quickly forgotten as someone who made up a number!
So for all you people out there waiting for something to happen I say this, “Get off your backside and make your own change.”

TIME FOR YOU
TIME FOR YOU
Stage 1
It appears that the more I study time the more complicated it gets.
Looking at the meaning of time can we agree that time is like a continuum where anything that goes through a gradual transition creates a succession from one to another. Then the durations and spaces between motions that occur become measurable.
As my pen moves across the paper, back and forth, time elapses yet something has been created, a thought pattern perhaps, an understanding of life itself, who knows, time will tell?
So if we agree on how time is, or can be defined and measured then an understanding of our own existence grows.
When examining our lives clocks and watches and other devices become obsolete as other defining factors rule our behaviour. Technology, the internet and Television are able to create different ways for us to use our own time in many ways although other time constraints such as the time it takes to get to work for example may remain the same.
If we were to consider an existence where no measuring devices were available, how long would it take before our own measuring methods of time passage become the norm for us to pass on to our children?
When do we get up in the morning? Is this determined by the sun, the weather our health? When shall we plant our crops and where, how do they grow and why? Shall we go to bed when we are tired and rise when the sun appears?
Behaviour when considering all these factors sun, light, dark, water food, illness and age is constant and we must rely on gained knowledge to progress. Time management becomes a handy tool.
How we are brought up and what is learnt from our parents and others will determine our own perceptions of time. These may be altered by the way in which we live our lives. Drugs may slow down or speed up, overestimate or underestimate our sense of time. When we age it is a known perception that an older person can perceive a week as passing in a blink of an eye where a child can remember the same week as lasting for ever. This, although measured in time as being exactly the same can be defined mathematically as a calculation of one’s life lived. Example, one day to an eleven-year-old person would be approximately 1/4,000 of their life, while one day to a 55-year-old would be approximately 1/20,000 of their life.
Now aren’t you glad I told you that?
