Time

Years, hours, days, months, millenia....we as humans have a love/hate relationship with time. We want to grow older, but we don't want to grow too old where we have to worry about the rhelm of nevertime. We love when we hit anniversaries of great events, but we hate the waiting game to get to enjoy certain events. Time is a constant, and it's the only number never stops....it's just a given in the game of life.


I make this reference only because in looking at just the past school year there have been many times where I wished that time would do nothing but speed up. I wished for the calandar to switch over to a month where I was experiencing something great, but it wasn't until today that I ran across a few things where I realized it was the mundane times in which I set myself up for the good times that I am currently in. The funny thing about life is that if you set up a good foundation with good decisions (whether others really know what happened or not), you can build on that base, and feel comfortable in where you are during the good times.

What is great is that while over the past year or so, there have been plenty of times where I could have dipped into some things that were immoral/enethical, just because the situation was there, but I did not. There were times where I could have made decisions against my goals/vision, but I did not. The combination of those two lead ME to sleep well at night knowing that even though others assume that things have happened, the only person that does is myself. In this world of talk first, and maybe ask questions later I have found you can do one of two things: 1)explain the events as they happened or 2)appologize for what in fact did not happen only to hope to regain some sort of the past that might be in jepardy. That's life my friends, and over time, the truth will eventually be shown, and then the feelings of others will change now that thier ideas built around heresay and rumors have been replaced with truth and fact.

Wether it is intrapersonal relations, or the steriod issue in baseball, the truth itself might not set you free, but at least knowing the truth for yourself does more than making appologies for things you did not enter into.
