The Sun'll go out ...tomorrow
Everything changes, it's what happens.
Favourable situations, friendships, relationships, technology..everything. We are told to accept this as a part of life. It's going to happen whether we want it to or not
One day, The Sun will change. It will expand go really, really red burn The Earth and then contract becoming really small and dense. There will be no more Sun.
This will of course happen , a long, long time form now.Albeit 13 or so billion years but when you consider just how quickly we've done the last 7 billion or so since all this was kicked off, it really starts to look pretty short in the grand scheme of things.Although people will say and quite rightly, that this is something that will never affect us who scuttle around on our little blue dot today so it's pointless to even consider such things. "Live life"! they will say and make the most of what you have..don't waste your life thinking about it. Wise and sensible words with out a doubt, I know they are .I'm the fool for dwelling on such matters and not being contented with my time here.
This is my point though...it's going to affect someone...some day.
Bringing things back to the present day, what about the way we live, the system we live under, when does that reach its expiry date? It has to, it is after all at the mercy of entropy just like everything else.
There are ,of course, good and bad sides to the way we live in the Western World. History has shown us that there are much worse ways of living than in a society loosely based on the principles of freedom in many forms. Cracks have started to show though and lately, we've started to see a little more of the bad and how people can become victims of their own greed and stupidity and that of others. All systems are of course open to exploitation and even those whose existence has been born out of the need to make life fairer for people, they have for the most part,eventually cracked because of the human traits of wanting that little bit more and the fact we can't help dreaming of greener grass. It 's what we do, for good or bad.
How much longer do we have before it changes and what do we do then.....seriously?
Think about it and...enjoy the Sunshine
