I saw a very interesting little film today, done by a canadian film maker, discussing the background of the assassin from the recent events in America. He was very interesting and went on to dicuss the upbringing of children, and the behaviour of the parents.
He used an example of a woman who was retiring from her job of long standing, who found a copy of a news letter that she had missed her daughters birthday party to put together. No one else could remember this news letter, but it brought tears to her eyes, because of the time she lost with her child to produce it.
So we are all guilty of ignoring the important things in life, we dont watch the kids grow up, we dont spend enough time with our loved ones, to the point that we regret it later on in life. We sometimes get so wrapped up in our own little bubbles, that we push friends away and upset loved ones to the point that when we realise what has happened it is too late to do anything, or we try to make things better but in the process we make things alot worse. It has happened to us all at sometime, all for differant reasons because we are all differant.
The things we chase could have an impact on things, where we work so hard to improve things and keep everyone happy, we do the opposite, we also lose focus to the point we end up chasing our own tails. This could be chasing that dream, that promotion at work. It could be to start a business, doesnt matter really. We all go on the chase sometimes and develop tunnel vision.
If you read my blog from last night, I did my own SWOT analysis, because to discover yourself is to look at your own faults in life and see where you are going wrong and where you could improve. I was so focused on several things last year, that I lost touch with events, neglected some friends, good friends and not out of intention. I was so wrapped up to the point time overtook and before I knew it the year was over. We all get older each day, and the time we all lose, we can not get back.
But there are two approaches we can take in life, and one is to carry on to the point we become bitter and twisted and blame everyone else for our problems, or we just try and stop, see where we are going wrong and try and improve things. A word of warning dont leave things too late, because you get stuck in that rut, and it is difficult to get out of. We spend life just trying to make sense of it, and life is full of opportunities, it requires bollocks to take advantage of these opportunities, and we certianly dont know what is round the corner. Life is too short
So maybe it is time to stop worrying about things, say sod it and get on with things. We as individuals are unique, we all play our part in life, and we are all part of that web of society. Yes there are loads of things wrong with this planet, well the way us humans have treated the planet, and the human race is reaping what we sow. The future is in our hands, So do we all want to be carry on and get bitter and twisted, we I would rather enjoy life, in the knowledge that when I get put in the box, I had done things. I'm not worried about the afterlife, life is to be lived
