Time

Time is something that we can never seem to have the perfect amount of. We either tend to have too little of it or too much of it.

I can name a handful of different occasions when I didn't have enough time to finish things, and I can also name another handful of different occasions when I thought I was dying of boredom because I had too much time.

Time is something that humans have created in a way.

We have decided how long a second is, how long a minute is, how long an hour is, how long a day is and so on and so forth.

They decided that a year would be 365 days because that's how long it takes for the earth to do a full rotation around the sun, but they could've easily decided that a year is two or three full rotations around the sun.

If someone asked us how long a day is, we have the automatic answer of 24 hours.

If you think about different measurements in that way, then we have really given a definition to everything. We've created meters, temperature, etc.

However, something we haven't decided, for example are the seasons.

Yes, we gave them names, but we didn't give them their qualities. We didn't created snow, or rain, or the sun or how the leaves change.

We just happen to have given those seasons their names and rough estimate dates as to when they start and end.

Time is viewed as something precious, yet in reality, there's no scientific proof that time really does exist. It's believed to be more of an illusion.

It's viewed as a very complex topic in physics and there's no doubt among physicists that it exists, but they seem to be divided on what causes its existence.

We know that the sun rises and then the moon takes its turn, and we also know that the seasons change.

When the seasons change, we view that as times going by in months, but then again, months are also a measure of time that humans have created.

The seasons change in a continuous loop, just like how the sun and moon follow a continuous loop.

In the end, time is a weird thing that I don't think anyone has master yet.

I guess the question is are you using our idea of time wisely whether it's minutes, hours, days, months or years?

"Interest At First Sight"

I'm a big quote fanatic. I love reading quotes, breaking them down, learning about who wrote them and why they said it. 

I think it's the fact that the meaning of a quote could mean one thing to me and something completely different to someone else. It inspires people in their own personal way.

A quote that everyone seems to know is "It was like love at first sight."

Now people usually tend to think of people or book/movie characters when they hear the quote. Who doesn't love the idea of being able to look at someone in the eyes from across the room and just knowing that they're the one? 

That would be incredibly special.

For me though, that quote is more for items. Whether I'm shopping, listening to music, reading a book, I can fall in love instantly.

I just personally don't think it's fair to say the same about a person.

How do you fall in love with someone by a quick glance of the eye and know you want to spend the rest of your life with that one person? 

Is that not that shallow? 

You're technically not falling in love/fell in love with a person, you're falling in love/fell in love with their looks. A whole person is so much more than just looks. What if you think you had a "It was love at first sight," moment but the other person is the complete opposite as you and you know that it could never work out after the first date? 

That's why I think that the quote should be "Interest at first sight." 

I am one of those people that say personality is more important than looks because if I had the choice of marrying someone that loves all the same things I do and we always have fun together but he looks like an average guy or marrying a supermodel that I have nothing in common with and it always feels awkward, I would chose the person who looks like an average guy. 

I don't want to say looks aren't important, because in a way they are. 

They spark interest in you to talk to someone. Everyone has their preferences related to looks whether it's hair or eye colour to size or height of the person, but no one should be made fun of for their looks. It's not something you can change on command and it's awful that people are still making them feel bad for how they look and making them feel worthless about themselves. 

That's why I also think that it's important not to change your looks for anyone but yourself because someone will take interest in you.

Now if you are a believer that two people can fall in love at first sight, then that's awesome.

This is just my opinion on the matter, so please, I beg of you, do not feel as though you have to change your opinion of the quote. If I have influenced you and you understand what I'm saying, then so be it. I would just hate it if one of you changed your minds completely even though the reason as to why you fell in love with the quote and remember it is different from mine.

Everyone has different interpretations on different subjects. This just happens to be mine on a specific quote.
