Continuing the Tradition

Can you be so sure of anything in this life?

The season changes continuously, and here in Sydney the constant shifting of the weather is not of unfamiliarity to most residents. We expect snow in summer, and gratefully embraced hot sun in winter. Humans tend to take anything and everything for granted, a trait that is too hard to kill especially with current hi-tech supported living, where things are demanded bigger, better, and quicker.

Tragically, when one of the most valuable treasures that was found in this world vanishes, we quickly grew some liking to other nicer, fancier distractions. Whatever happened with treasuring the old, memorable gems? How is it that life can be so shallow?

Being a conservative person that I am, one tends to hold on tight to one’s most precious gifts that life has delivered. Yet at times I can’t seem to be able to distinguish the gifts that will endure for a season or a lifetime. Is it wrong to wish that good things are to last in this life? Would it be considered a sin to attempt to preserve a life’s treasure even when it will be on the other’s expense?

The wise will know that the only constant thing in this world is change.

I think I will walk with my eyes shut and pretend that I am a fool.
