Everything Is Wasted
The song at the time said Everything Is Wasted.
It does look like it sometimes from a human perspective. In both senses of possible meaning. It both looks as though we as a species throw away all the chances we have to get back on a better track AND that we lay everything in our paths to waste.
That’s a very negative spin of course. Some would take the same big picture information and come up with a much more positive way of looking at things.
I vacillate between the two points of views depending on the day in question. What I don’t change my mind about anymore, is the absence of inevitable outcomes. The possibilities, though not endless, are never the less extremely varied. It could all go in a whole host of directions, and anybody who tries to prophecy the future is very much a hostage to fortune. It’s a mugs game.
We are in an exciting novel of our own making. We don’t know the ending. But we do get the chance to write a few lines ourselves. Lines that will have an affect on the outcomes. Though not ones that we can control.
Never the less, I’d prefer not to waste the small opportunities I do get to be an active player in the story.
