15 Sept 2013

We all know those little nerve wrecked moments when we are about to attempt something new, that we have never done before. That thrill and excitement, the anticipation of how wonderful that new experience would be. That tiny surge of adrenaline rush through your blood (or is it nerves), that makes you feel all pumped up not knowing what exactly we are about to face.

Most of the time, we'd expect the best out of it. It is mostly rare that we'd expect the worst out of that unknown experience. We'd only expect it to be bad, if we relate it back to previous experiences that are somewhat similar to what we are about to face. Then again, not every experience will be exactly the same as the previous.  True, it may be somewhat similar, but time changes everything. 

A car will lose its power, a house will look older, food will spoil, humans.. humans change too..

Time moulds people. Just as how time makes wine taste better, how values of property or land increases through time. Would you say that time is our enemy?

But we don't like changes that we are unfamiliar with. We'd hope people would change for the better, and feel disappointed when they prefer to pick the dark side. We'd hope nice people would remain as nice people, but we feel disappointed when they turn out to be someone else who may have turned evil. How do you even measure what is good and what is bad? Isn't this subjective?
