Again. Almost a year around. Time sure loves to fly quickly. There has to be something why I'm telling you this... If you would look back on where were You a year ago and now. Compare. Has it been better or worse? There is no such thing as worse. If it feels like it has gone completely wrong, don't worry, nothing's over yet! Just like with Samuel. No matter how hard the times were during the past year, things have come to an successful outcome. What did happen the past year, You will ask?
Let me continue this way...
As you can remember from not that far ago what kind of person he was. He is not any more the one who's rushing to parties, to meeting people whenever there's time. Other priorities have taken him all over and there I think I should say that Samuel has finally grown up. Of course, men don't grow up, but just the toys get bigger... But as before - going out and being on line to be the coolest person at the club was important, then now it's all gone. Now this is what a year or two can do with people. But don't you worry, because he is still that same old dreamer about life, he still loves having a good time just in different ways than before. It should also be a reminder to all of you out there. Time still is and will stay as a relative concpet of how we understand it. Continuing on, this reminds me of a walk with Samuel. As usual, the evening had come and there was something missing for supper so we had to go out to buy some rice. We walked as we spoke and he started: "Do you see? Do you see how's everything changing around us within a moment, a blink of an eye? I have noticed it already before. Just that hardest part is that it keeps happening faster each time, I mean, it takes more and more time to notice it and then you can just look back and tell to others or to you as in my case that it has already been a year or two. How? It's ridiculous how fast everything changes and I can't catch up to all of it, so many things seems so stupid... Is that a sign? A sign that I'm getting old? Because I hope not. I know, I know... I have always been this weird guy all around. But still... Where are we people rushing? To what? Money? That's never enough no matter how much we have it.. To power? Fame? I'm feeling again that it's getting too deep, but the feelings wont go away that someone should be at least asking and giving these kind of questions, because noone else will. I'm completely concerned about where do we - humanity go. Why can't there be all of us informed about what's going on in this world and what will happen the next five, ten or twenty years. Why does this keeps happening?" I didn't say a thing. Just kept quiet, I had no idea what and how to answer him. We hadn't met for so long, for a moment it felt that it's not him anymore, that it's not Samuel. The manner he spoke and the tone of his had changed. As I'm still sitting here I can't see a better answer I gave to all of his questions in one.
"But where do You, Samuel, see us going? What is there for you to do and what are you willing to sacrifice for the good of all of us? Where do you see us now and in time of twenty years? Is there going to be flying cars?"
I am thrilled of Samuel and the way he always wants to know everything. A person that during it's life is trying to become better and better will sure know more than the one who is lazy enough to stay in the bed the whole day. It is very important to keep everything in balance. Meeting people and friends is healthy thing to do from time to time because you can never know what news they can bring to you. There will always be a future for us to look up to. The people around us are the ones who are changing us. The people we care about are the impulse of our lives that we need and look for so much. Get carried away if that's what you need. Never be afraid of yourself.
