Infinite Universe

"Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former."
~Albert Einstein  

So...is that a good thing?

If the Universe is truly infinite, then imagine how far the human race can progress.  If we have the given ability to adapt to our surroundings, to understand and utilize what is given to us, imagine what we can achieve.  I'm pretty sure Einstein meant to be ironic, but I'll turn around his meaning of his statement.  If human stupidity is infinite, then human knowledge is infinite.  Since we have the capacity to be infinitely unreasonable, our capacity to be reasonable is comparable.  Why?  In the midst of confusion, of every stupid action, a truth will rise from the rubble.  Whether it may be a truth to our existence, a truth about a lie, a truth to our stupidity, we will learn from out mistakes.  Thus, we will infinitely learn from our mistakes because of humanity's nature to adapt.

Merry Christmas,

Tick Tock Tick Tock

“Take time to deliberate; but when the time for action arrives, stop thinking and go in.”
Napoleon Bonaparte

What a bad ass...

A great quote from a French Emperor that had it all and then lost it.  This reminds me of my father who always said, "do it now."  That phrase has been pounded in to my skull, yet I never listened to his advice.  Now I have Napoleon saying the same thing to me.   There will be a time to stop and smell the roses, but what good is there by sitting and pondering on a rock?  Our actions speak volumes while our thoughts stay within its bounds.  Ladies and gentlemen, the age of individualism is passing and the age of integration is rising.  We all can't look after our own self interests for the majority of the time, we have to establish our identity and move onwards to help our community.  Preservation of the human race depends on the preservation of our communities, our societies, not ourselves.  Yes, it is vital to find your identity, and it should be your first priority, but the greater goal for one's life is the life of others.

And so clock continues to tick, the gears continue to click, and the chimes will infinitely ring until time itself will destroy the keeper of time.  What can we keep from time?  Our struggle for existence.  If time will certainly mean the doom of humanity, then resisting the, perhaps, futile test of time is reason enough to live.  There is no nobility in ending your life because there is nothing else to struggle for, but there is greatness in the fight to defy death.  Live to prevail.

Perspective is Relative to Passion

"Music is a higher revelation than all wisdom and philosophy."  Ludwig van Beethoven
A bold statement by a revolutionary man.

It is important to observe that all statements by any individual should not be taken by its surface value, but rather to meditate upon.  However, those who take Beethoven's word with a grain of salt will not understand the full extent of his imagination.  Then how should we, are we even able to, interpret this quotation?

Beethoven had an incredible passion for music and opened himself up to the world.  He used his music to translate his emotions and ideas to society's uncensored ear.  The melodies scripted by his imagination tell stories beyond anyone's hopes and dreams.  Because his experiences are strictly unique -- particularly his musical and life experiences -- we may never understand his motives, his subconscious, yet we people accept his works as great.  Why do we?  Because Beethoven mastered the art of communication through carefully coordinated sounds.  He did what many of us could not, share his sentiments, his perspective through the art of music.

What mode of art do you use to express yourself?  If you don't, pick one up!
