    I am thinking about what I will be doing today

    “Those who seek to satisfy the mind of man by hampering it with ceremonies and music and affecting charity and devotion have lost their original nature””

    “If water derives lucidity from stillness, how much more the faculties of the mind! The mind of the sage, being in repose, becomes the mirror of the universe, the speculum of all creation.

    A bottle has water in it and the lid is off, and it isn't enough to fall out when I leave it on its side, will it fall out if I spin it on its side?
    For I have known them all already, known them all:
    Have known the evenings, mornings, afternoons,
    I have measured out my life with coffee spoons;
    I know the voices dying with a dying fall
    Beneath the music from a farther room.

    So how should I presume?

    Life is made of angles, like the angles from which you get a different picture of... well... life. Hence, it all depends on the angle of the spinning.

    I hope all that was insightful enough

    Insightful, yes. Scientifically yes or no, nahh... Ah well... I'll get someone at school to try it for me.

    It's like one of those spinny rides at the fair. It spins you in a circle and invariable the person on the inside will be smushed by the other people in the car/bucket.

    Time is too little for me and this barrier or limitation of time is nauseating me

    It's too late...you already dared to think it by asking if you dared to think it.

    I think it kind of proved what would happen, but I wonder if we'll take any notice of it. I think we should.
    "...You are not wrong, who deem
    That my days have been a dream;
    Yet if hope has flown away
    In a night, or in a day,
    In a vision, or in none,
    Is it therefore the less gone?..." E. A. Poe

    Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better, it's not.
