Ok ok,
Of course we all try and save time. Cutting corners, little short cuts. But no matter how much time you save, at the end of your life, there’s no extra time saved up. You’ll be going, “What do you mean there’s no time? I had a microwave oven, velcro shoes, a clip-on tie. Where is that time?”
But there isn’t any. Because when you waste time in life, they subtract it. Like if you saw all the Rocky movies or those medical examinations in NUS, they deduct the mistakes and wastages. So you’ve got to be careful. You can take the Concorde to Europe, but if they show soul plane on the plane, you’re right back where you started from.
To me, if life boils down to one significant thing, it’s movement. To live is to keep moving. Unfortunately, this means that for the rest of our lives we’re going to be looking for boxes. When you’re moving, your whole world is boxes. That’s all you think about. “Boxes, where are there boxes?” You just wander down the street going in and out of shops, “Are there boxes here? Have you seen any boxes?” It’s all you think about.
You can’t even talk to people, you can’t concentrate. “Will you shut up? I’m looking for boxes!” After a while, you become like a bloodhound on the scent. To me, if life boils down to one significant thing, it’s movement. To live is to keep moving.
Cheers.
ps: To live is to keep moving.
