THE WORLD TURNS

PROBABLY ONE OF THE MOST SIGNIFICANT THEMES THAT KEEPS RECURRING IN LIFE, IS THAT THE WORLD, BOTH LITERAL AND FIGURATIVE, KEEP TURNING NO MATTER WHAT.  WE AS PEOPLE, PUT A LOT OF EMPHASIS ON WHATEVER PARTICULAR ISSUES PERTAINING TO US AS INDIVIDUALS, BUT NO MATTER WHAT, WE FORGET THE WORLD AROUND US CONTINUES TO FUNCTION.  NO MATTER WHAT YOU ARE GOING THROUGH, POSITIVE OR NEGATIVE, IT DOESN'T MEAN AS MUCH TO OTHERS, AS IT DOES TO YOU.  WE ALL HAVE THIS NOTION, THAT WHAT IS HAPPENING TO US IS, OR SHOULD BE, IMPORTANT TO MORE THAN JUST US, AND IN SOME CASES IT MIGHT BE, DEPENDING ON THE SITUATION.  WHEN SOMETHING AWFUL HAPPENS, IT AFFECTS YOUR WORLD, OR YOUR BUBBLE SO TO SPEAK.  THE SAME IS TRUE WHEN SOMETHING GREAT HAPPENS.  YOUR UNHAPPINESS IS SHORT LIVED, AND SO IS YOUR CELEBRATION, FOR THAT MATTER, BECAUSE, THE WORLD CONTINUES TO SPIN, AND EVERYONE IN IT CARRIES ON WITH WHATEVER THEY WERE DOING PREVIOUSLY.  EVEN FOR THOSE WHO ARE SIGNIFICANTLY POPULAR, LIKE CELEBRITIES OR MUSICIANS, THEY HAVE A SHORT WINDOW.  TODAY, TIME SEEMS TO HAVE SPED UP, AND WHATEVER IT IS THAT HAPPENS AT A PARTICULAR MOMENT DOESN'T USUALLY LAST AS LONG, AND IS USUALLY FORGOTTEN IN THE MINDS OF THE PUBLIC.  THIS ALSO TRANSLATES, INTO THE MORE COMMON REALM OF INDIVIDUALS AS WELL.  YOU MAY HAVE DONE SOMETHING REALLY SPECTACULAR, OR SIGNIFICANT, WHATEVER IT IS, AND GARNER SOME RECOGNITION FROM THE PEOPLE AROUND YOU, BUT, THEN THEY GO BACK TO THEIR LIVES.  OR, YOU MAY HAVE A HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE, AND YOU MAY GET A SMALL GROUP THAT SYMPATHIZES WITH YOU, BUT THEN, THEY RETURN TO THEIR OWN LIVES.  IN ALL REALITY, DUE TO THE WAY HUMAN NATURE IS, YOU WOULD PROBABLY INCUR MORE ATTENTION, THROUGH NEGATIVE EXPERIENCES, BECAUSE PEOPLE SEEM TO BE DRAWN TO SUFFERING.

THE POINT, I AM MAKING IS THAT YOU HAVE TO CONTINUE.  IF YOU HAVE A GREAT ACCOMPLISHMENT, YOU MUST KEEP THOSE ACCOMPLISHMENTS GOING, IF YOU ARE SEEKING A CERTAIN POPULARITY SO TO SPEAK.  FOR INSTANCE, YOU MAKE A VIDEO FOR THE INTERNET, AND IT GETS GREAT RATINGS, IF YOU DON'T FOLLOW THAT UP, IT AND YOU WILL BE QUICKLY FORGOTTEN.  SO YOU HAVE TO CONTINUE TO FIND A WAY TO STAY RELEVANT, NOT ONLY IN THE MOMENT, BUT IN THE TIME THAT FOLLOWS.  IF YOU HAVE SOMETHING HORRIBLE HAPPEN, THEN REALIZE, YOU CAN'T HOLD ON TO THAT EXPERIENCE AND EXPECT EVERYONE AROUND YOU TO CONTINUE TO EMPATHIZE WITH YOU.  THIS FEELING MIGHT LAST FOR AWHILE, BUT, EVENTUALLY IT WILL WEAR THIN, AND THOSE AROUND YOU WILL IMPLORE YOU TO GET ON WITH YOUR LIFE.  SO, AS I STATED BEFORE, THIS WORLD WILL TURN ANYWAY.  SOME OF THE MOST SIGNIFICANT PEOPLE IN HISTORY DIE, AND EVERYONE HAS A SAD FACE, FOR LIKE A DAY, OR DAY AND A HALF, AND IT'S RIGHT BACK TO WHATEVER WAS GOING ON BEFORE.  KEEP THIS IN MIND AS YOU GO ON ABOUT YOUR LIFE.  REMEMBER, THE ACCOMPLISHMENTS OR BURDENS IN LIFE, ARE NO ONE ELSE'S WEIGHT, BUT OUR OWN, AND EXPECTING OTHERS TO CARRY IT IS SOMEWHAT LUDICROUS, BECAUSE EACH OF US, HAS OUR OWN LIVES TO DEAL WITH.  LIFE IS TEMPORARY, AND SO ARE THE EXPERIENCES.  -  925
