The More Things Change, the more they stay the same

For years, I've always felt that the world is moving so fast, technology improves at an unbelievable pace, cultures adapt to develop a new outlook, people move on to better, or worse things than ever before...
and through all these changes... I've felt like i've been standing still

Ever since i can remember, i've assimilated information and knowledge from every aspect of culture, society, technology, history, philosophy and life... never once settling on something for more than a fleeting moment...
But something has flipped a switch in my hyperactive brain
It may be important, or it may turn out to be trivial, i've come to find that all that i've lived for in three decades can turn to smoke so quickly, yet through that smoke, you can see the beams of light clearly

"there are three kinds of people in the world: Those who Watch things happen, Those who Make things happen and Those that say 'What happened?'  ¶ 2:11 AM
