Turn Back Time...
There is a creek and you want to harness it, so you build a dam... You find modern designs and build it using solid engineering principles...
Isnt that a wonder... its a modern marvel standing proud and tall... And you proudly boast that it is your best achievement...
But what is that you see? Is that a crack? Is that a leak? You run and patch it up.. fill it up with mortar and hold it till it there is no more water coming through... But another leak sprouts and you patch that up... In the end the only thing of the original dam that stands is your memory of it... Do you keep patching it up? Is it worth it? Maybe the creek was never meant to be contained... Maybe the creek was better flowing in its natural beauty... Maybe you need to turn back time... Maybe...

well everything crumbles, decays and dies with time....... dams, lives and relationships.... they will crack up first...... and u'll fix them... but the cracking never stops.... u can;t freeze that moment of glory, that moment of perfection and make that ever lasting....... but does that mean we have to stop doing what we do just cos nothing ever lasts?....
for instance..... u c this chic.. u're hormones race...u're brain chemistry goes topsy turvey and u are madly in luv.... then u get to know him/her... build a relationship.. get married... and the sotry goes on with its fair share of cracks and plasters............. with the picutre of a nervous bride and confused groom frozen in a perpetual grin, trapped in a wooden frame, hung over u're wall.... was it worth going through all that hassle?.... the tormenting years of child rearing... the endless hours spent on fullfilling trival survival needs.... compromising u're lofty (impractical.... )ideals to become a good enough "provider"..... will u look back and say it wasn't worth it.. there are temporary moments of glory in the path to decay or in the midst of all trhe siffering which we crave for.. that is why we do what we do..
in the midst of writing all that unadulterated crap as a journalist, everynight i go to sleep and hope that atleast one person will get touched .. atleast one person will be happy.... if not for a lifetime atleast for a moment.... u cannot measure the value of things on a prolonged time scale.... cos then the "impermance" factor makes all things futile.. it is in reducing u're time scale u find the real reasons for doing what u do...
That is the illusionary sense of meaning/ purpose/ happiness that keeps us bonded to our "mortal targets, ambitions, hopes and fears..." the absolute truth will crush us and take away the reason to plod on... so lets delude our selves for the sake of survival (if thats what u choose)!!......

it is unfair/ silly to ask he question "Maybe the creek was never meant to be contained... Maybe the creek was better flowing in its natural beauty", because u damed it for a reason that was onl;y valid for a certain period of time.... as with all things time takes away the vailidity of that reason as well....
it only reamins valid until u're action helped to satisfy a certain need/ want u had at that given point in time... but our desires our fleeting whores who are insatiable...
Give a dma and it craves for a nuclear power plant.
So it is silly to ask that question in the here and now... in a fresh moment when the "reason/ motive for the action" has wihered away.. evaporated with time...

hindsight.... ah.... the miracles that you can make with it :-D..... didnt i talk about 'here and now' in my blog... me thinks me did... so me not repeat preachy stuff ... its kinda hard to say what people get a kick out of, and even for a single person that totally varies with the mood.... so lets just ride the wave... and worry about the shoals when we get there...
