A Reflective Moment of the Passing of Time and the Wasting of Lives on the Mundane and Pointless

As I sit here at almost 1:30, I can't help but think, "wow. The year is actually over." It's hard to believe, isn't it? All you class of 2013 people, you're going to high school, like me. Different setting. Larger. Now think. If you're in the class of 2013 as I am, you're most likely 14. Think back through your life. Start as early as you can remember. Think of your best moment from kindergarten, up through now. Think of your friends from back then. Seriously, how many friends from kindergarten do you still know and talk with on a regular basis? I'd bet not many. Maybe a few, if you're lucky, maybe more. For me, I don't have any friends from kindergarten who I still know. Assuming you're 14 at the time of reading (as my entire reader base is at the moment), think ahead. you'll get through high school, then college, maybe graduate school. You'll get a job, and work until you retire. Then you'll grow older, and, you'll die. Maybe somewhere along the line you got married, had kids. Think of that hypothetical child now. They go through the same experiences. Through kindergarten, life, retirement, death. The cycle is endlessly repeating, and practically unbreakable. This cycle has gone on throughout history, will continue for as long as everyone can possibly fathom. So I urge everyone, as we enter the summer break, to enjoy your free time. Do whatever it takes to be entertained every moment of these next 3 months. This is probably going to be the most free time you ever get in your life, until you retire. Jobs don't have summer breaks. Even in high school, you will probably get a job, which will capitalize your free time. ENJOY IT WHILE IT LASTS, FOR IT WON'T FOREVER. Live for the moment, the moment that is temporary, pointless, and will never play any significant role in anything in any time in history. But that moment is important, because you enjoyed it. Heck, humanity itself is a self-destructive species. War, pollution, the biggest risk to us is ourselves. Nothing in your life will ultimately matter, so why not live for the moment?
