Time is an interesting, if silly, udea.

Old Year, New Year not a lot of difference. Time, as we perceive it, moves forward and does not slow down, speed up, pause or stop.

We use time as an excuse. Not enough, way too much, especially if we are waiting for something. It goes too fast when you’re enjoying something.

But we seem never to be destined to escape its flow.

Best to make do and embrace it.

Ikigai, do I have a reason to get up each morning?

There is this idea that we need a reason to get up each day in order to get the best out of our lives and to live a long and good life. We allegedly need to find our passion to do our best. Do we need to have ikigai or a passion?

What’s in it for those who peddle these ideas?

Money?

Superiority?

Annoying others and making them feel inadequate?

Perhaps we need to accept that we are ordinary and should accept what we are.

We could try to be better and we could do many things, but not because we should but because we want to.
