PROMPT #433
We have an image prompt this week.
Under the tremendous pressure of deadlines
I sit and watch time fly by
The calendar merely shows
How many days have passed
Watermarks keep reminding
You have crossed the deadline
I acquire yet another badge of failure
To be tormented by guilt.
To whom should I complain?
After all,
This pressure is something I chose myself.
Or perhaps I prefer living under pressure,
For
If I were to finish everything on time,
How would I bear the loneliness of the remaining time?
Documentation
Humans have been recording history since time immemorial—documenting every detail of days, dates, times, and eras. They write down what happened, when and how it occurred, and what the consequences were. What was the outcome of every human action, and for what purpose? Was it merely to preserve facts, or in the hope that in times of trouble, one would turn to history and learn a lesson from it?
Yet, it seems to me that humans read history for entertainment and then forget it. History is the last place they will look to seek a lesson. And as the famous saying goes, those who do not remember history are bound to repeat it.
“Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it”, George Santayana.
