Passing By

Earth rotates; orbits the sun. The bright star rises and falls. And people pass by. Working, enjoying, moving through meaningless life with the purpose they created for themselves.

Whether one lives or dies, succeeds or fails, the Earth still rotates; orbits the sun. The bright star still rises and falls. And people still pass by.

Whether one seeks entertainment or has the drive to push ideas forward, the Earth still rotates; orbits the sun. The bright star still rises and falls. And people still pass by.

However one makes choices, the Earth will still rotate; orbit the sun. The bright star will still rise and fall. And people will still pass by.

Life will go on because time forces it. And the choices people make are only valued based on the value they themselves put on it.

But life isn't limitless like time is. Life is time-sensitive.

Yet people hesitate, choose to run a safe path trying to accept it though they secretly want more.

If life is limited, and choices have no real value but your own, why let life pass by?
