Irrevocable

Humptey Dumptey sat on a wall, Humptey Dumptey had a great fall,
And all the queens horses, And all the queens men,
Couldn't put humptey together again...

There are just some things that you can't fix.

Somethings you only have one chance to get right. Once it's gone you can never take it back. The surgeon who has lost a patient, a broken egg; its yolk spilt across the floor...

The question is... Where do you draw the line? Do you give up when things seem impossible? How do you know when to quit? What is worse? An exercise in futility or no attempt at all?

It would be great if we could just put our whole heart into everything we do, but are somethings just not worth the effort? I mean do we have time to dedicate the brevity of our life to every cause we see? How much of an impact will we make if we spread ourselves that thin?

No, nothing is impossible... But sometimes, I hate to say this, it's just not worth it...

Why spend a day soaking the milk off the carpet and forcing it back into it's carton? Who would wanna drink spoilt milk? It's bang for buck in its crudest form...

Nothing is truly irrevocable, but the limitations that are set upon us by the very length of our existence, compel us to prioritize and therefore render some acts virtually unfeasible.

We only have one life. Why spend it chasing shadows? The world is a veritable ocean or multiplicity. For every fish that got away a million more swim, eyes riveted; watching the bait.

However, there are always exceptions to the rule.

No statistic has ever reliably shown anything any fact to be 100% consistent.

There will always be anomalies...

There will always be extremes...

So if you believe there truly is something worth devoting your priceless time to....

I would do it.

For who are you if you are not yourself? It is your life, why spend time squeezing into whatever caste the world believes you should belong?

Remember even Lazarus who walked with the dead awoke as if only from sleep.

Sweet Dreams,
