Our Paradox

We don't have a lot of time to live. Our era may be now, but soon it will belong to a billion completely different people. Yet, even though our time is so short, most of us are doing the same things as one another everyday. Even if we have a breakthrough or decide to change our lives, we eventually go back to what we used to do. We might learn things that make us want to appreciate our lives more. We might learn things that reveal to us a bigger picture in which we are blind of. Still, after we may be enlightened to some extent, we just forget what we've learned and return to our old mindsets. We can hardly be blamed though since that is how the natures of our minds work. We are basically forced to go back into our set lifestyles without much of a option to break through it. It is similar to the unfortunate people born into low income nations or in the slums of our society. They don't have much opportunity to better themselves and aren't given a fair opportunity. For some reason, we all believe that we're all given a fair opportunity although it is certainly not the truth. I truly wish that all people were intelligent and open-minded and good, but I believe it may not be the truth. People have shown that they are in fact weak and stubborn. I know barely anything, you all know barely anything, and hopefully we can appreciate that fact together.
