Time keeps moving on, never slows, never ceases. In the blink of an eye, old worries are replaced by new ones, old fears by new ones. Priorities which once seemed so essential now seem trivial because they have been replaced by new ones. There are some who stay glued to the past, try to cover their eyes to the new realities but they are fighting a losing battle.
I find myself torn between trying to focus on what is now important for the future and trying to explain the reality to those who refuse to acknowledge these basic facts. Does it make me a bad person if I focus on the future and to the futures of those who need my help given they are at a nascent stage of their lives? I don't think so, but then again, I know I am shifting priorities from people who used to have all my priority at one point. How does one deal with this well? I don't think I have an answer and I don't think I'll find any answers but I will try to do my best to be what I always strive to be....a good person.
