How Often?

     There are 24 hours, 1440 minutes, or 86400 seconds in a day. Humans are creatures of habit, and we repeat our standard day-to-day plan. How often are we given opportunities to change and improve, but turn them down? How often do people enter our lives and we don't appreciate them? At a young age we run around and play, scream and shout, eat whenever we get the chance, and sleep every other moment. Sadly, one we've reached a certain age, we lose that sense of freedom and beautiful chaos. We are lulled into a specific routine; that routine controls who we become and what we do.

     How often are there those lucky few that break from the common, and thrust towards the unheard of and unspoken? Those people are viewed as outcast or wrong, until there are drones of society following their lead. Change is uncertainty, and humankind does not enjoy the sensation of being uncertain. We've been desensitized to how change can be a promising and beautiful thing, just as how we saw it while mere children. Chaos has its own beauty, its own rhythm. How often to we acknowledge what we have in our life, and realize how plentiful it is.

     How often do we stop during those 86400 seconds, 1440 minutes, or 24 hours and accept how gifted each and every person is? The answer is not enough.
