What is a second? What is a minute? Mere paltry things, which do not often go remarked upon. But, minutes make hours and hours make days which make weeks, months and years.
Years slip by so easily. You would not think they could, but they do. Ask yourself this: What has happened to the last ten years of your life; has it all gone by while you were not looking? Have things changed greatly in those intervening years, or is everything much the same as it always was?
If it has changed a great deal, do you feel as though it was through any action on your part, or did it all just happen around you?
It always seems as though things happen to us, things beyond our control. No life is left untouched by the world around it. Interaction is necessary, if not essential.
We cannot walk through the world without disturbing it in some way, leaving footprints. It touches us and we ought to reach out to touch it too. There is no point in hiding away from it.
