Jumping away from Reality

How awesome is that if we can just jump into some places and time that we would like to reach instantly.

However, if we were to empower with such ability, people would be jumping here and there to escape responsibilities and to run away from all the hassle to straightly the end of all trouble -- success and glory; happiness and joy.

Do you not think you might be one of them who choose the easy way? How would you be so certain? I myself, would be tempted to do so. But to think it the other way round, how many events in life that I will missed if I choose to take the easy way of jumping away from the current time frame which causes me pain? well yes, life never cease to cause you all sorts of feeling everyone of us would like to avoid. Pain, fear, anguish, disease... But without all these emotions, what is left to life? it's too "heaven-like" that it's not "life" anymore. To feel alive, one needs to go through pain and suffer along with the occasional happiness in between. Everyone is fast-forwarding their life everyday.

How many details from events and happenings around you is valued? Not much or maybe none at all. All we want from our lives is to reach goals, as fast as we can. We always look passed a lot of valuable experiences that we may get if we take more time to slowly work our way towards our goals. But we done that without stopping to even draw a deep breathe. We march on and on with a sense of purpose, but losing identity at the same time. In the end, when everything is lost, as we get to the finishing line, then we realize the thing we have been chasing after, is not really the thing we really cannot live without. When everything is lost, then we realize, for some of us, things are too broken to mend.
