Time that has past does not return. A man that has aged cannot regain his youth. The passing of time is natural, so is that of the passing of life.
I watched today as the world went on about me. The flurry of people about me rushing to different places. The endless flow of traffic that never ceases. The workers at a construction site working ever so slowly.

And I started thinking again. Of topics so random that I have absolutely no idea on how to include it in this post. Or any other post. Something that always fascinates me is life itself. I always look at strangers and wonder how is their life like. What did they do, how was their childhood like, how were their classmates like. And strangely, I can just sit back in a cafe, enjoy an iced latte and imagine the lives of other people for the whole day.

I was watching CNA just now about the North Korean nuclear tests. Since the 5 nuclear powers of the world can have the privilege of having nuclear technology, why can't other countries have it too? And if the concern was about nuclear weapons, does the Nuclear Weapons States have nuclear weapons?
Anyway, nuclear weapons were born as a result of an arms race between the Americans and Soviets during the cold war. And the USSR has collapsed since then. The world should be taking steps to a total disarmanent of nuclear weapons now. My point is, instead of pressuring just N. Korea to stop any possible nuclear weapons development, all the countries should disarm their nuclear arsenal.


Sigh. I'm not making any sense here. I foresee Man's fall coming soon. Our end will be the day when some idiot decides to nuke another country. And that won't be too far off.

I'm once again walking alone, facing familiar strangers and acting as if I know them. My hands moving on their own, performing familiar tasks that my heart finds foreign.
