Senior Don Juan
Now is the only time that exists.
There isn't a later, only a distant now.
The past and future are irrelevant as they don't even exist, nor can they.
With that being said, why are you wasting the only time that matters, right now?
Every day it's the same routine: saturate your brain with garbage. TV, mobiles, radio, computers – garbage.
You are probably guilty of some of those things – all of them right?
Yeah, but what's so bad about a little chatting – just an episode or two; heck, why not send that text.
Here's an experiment: Turn on your TV because it's entertaining, isn't it.
There's a great chance you turned on right in the middle of an ad break.
I turned on to a car ad.
It was such crap that I can't even remember the name of the car.
What I do remember is what I was meant to.
An attractive girl put her sports bag in the back of the car. Immediately following was their slogan, "It's sporty!"
Decode: Buy our expensive new car because sporty, attractive people drive it; therefore, if you buy it you're too, but if not. You too could attract that fit hottie in this baby!
If you watch 3 hours of TV a day, most networks will shuffle an entire hour of ads in between.
Not to mention advertising within the actual program.
Learn to pickup on this stuff. Everyday you are being brainwashed to buy things to fill in holes the advertising put there in the first place.
Next time you watch TV, look for the hidden messages and unplug because your life is on the other side of the screen.
So, what about the internet?
It's the same as your excessive phone use.
An increase in quantity is a decrease in quality.
Here's another thing to try.
Try 'Google' for some really specific information.
You'll waste hours.
Now try for some really general information.
You'll waste hours.
An increase in quantity is a decrease in quality.
If you still question this – go ahead, read your text message inbox.
"haiii hw r u"
That sort of message makes up 78% of anyone's inbox.
The sender didn't even bother to write properly.
Just hit a few keys and wala, instant communication.
You know what, you'll probably never experience the satisfaction of opening an ornamental envelope with sprinkles of petals falling out, and then sitting down to treat your eyes with the curves of beautiful writing – your friends are lazy and so are you.
There is no doubt about the meaning of that letter.
I don't have to reply with a 'lol' just to be safe.
It's clear as day the sender values me enough to put in such effort.
You no longer use technology; it uses you.
"I'll do it later."
No you won't.
To do anything later you have to do it now.
There is no other time.
Every second that ticks by is the past and no longer exists.
It took me 7 seconds to read the above paragraph, and I'll never get it back.
Neither will you.
Do it now.
I once sat with a dying friend in hospital, well in his old age.
He looked at me fiddling around with my phone and he said, "Do it now!"
"Do... what now?"
"Do it now!"
What it is, is for you to decide but decide now because the clock is ticking all the way to your grave.
Be scared and be scared now.
Do it now.
