time lines

i think time is like a spiral, going round in circles yet moving forward. i think man invented time so that he could have a chance to become a better person.

imagine if we told time with a continuous straight line. there would be no opportunity to go back to where we came from, no chance to relive the moment.

but instead, time repeats itself, day after day. one, two, three, and then again, so that we have a beginning, an end, and then a new beginning. so that we can say to ourselves, this is a new day, a new year. and with a new time, comes the opportunity to restart and give ourselves another shot at life to do the things we didn't do the year before, a hope for better things to come.

happy 2009!
