As long as we're able to ask ourselves, and as long as we're unable to answer each other's questions... we'll always be left wondering. Just years ago, if you wanted to know why something worked a certain way - or how, you just had to ponder it. You had to ask people that might know how to answer you, and if they don't know the answer... then you just had to keep wondering.
Times change invariably, undeniably without argument. Each moment feels different than the last; even when eerily similar... still different. When I was a child, things moved more slowly. Information, interest, investigations.... song titles, album release dates. Concert hall openings & closings, who's playing at what bar and when. Information's now instant. And no matter how hard you try to fight it, just to slow down for a moment... Just to spin the world your way at least once. It's not going to happen. It's never going to work out that way. The seconds spent worrying are wasted; each slipping more quickly than the last. Faster, and faster, and faster....
and faster.
And faster.
