Answer 1

Agree. Even when I have nothing to do, I never have enough time to do it.

Answer 2

You have no idea how correct you really are. There is a thing called Entropy - it is the natural tendency for things to from a higher state of order to a lower state of order. And it is not reversible. The big reason for the global warming is our increasing Entropy - we burn oil, gas, etc., at a faster and faster rate, and those resources can never be utilized again. We pollute oceans and the atmosphere and the pollution is here to stay. Those plastic pop bottle rings tossed aside are not going to melt. We are breathing carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, sulfuric oxide that was formed by the first Model T Ford.
Now another property of Entropy is it will take even more energy to correct what we have already messed up. Think of it this way. You open a pack of playing cards - they are all in order - from Ace to King, all in their own suit. Now you take the deck of cards and toss them into the air. They hit the ground all out of order and some face down, some face up, etc. It only took a little bit of energy on your part to mess up the deck. But it will take a whole lot more energy to put them back in order again. Buy 2 new cars, drive one normally and store the other one in a garage, the driven one will fall apart after a few years - the stored car will also fall apart - but at a much slower rate. It may rust away in a few hundred years. Same with the Earth. It will take more energy to fix warming and pollution than what has caused it in the first place. The more we try, the more behind we will get. We are using 20% more energy than the Earth can afford to give us at the present rate. It will only get worse - says Entropy. Notice you were never taught about Entropy when you were young? The notion of Entropy goes against the Industrial Revollution. And now it's coming back to bite us in the rear. There are 3 Laws of Thermodynamics - to put them simply;

First Law - you cannot win the game
Second Law - you cannot break even in the game
Third Law - you cannot get out of the game

You will be able to break the Law of Gravity and fly before you break any of the Thermodynamic Laws.

Answer 3

The world is moving at its own pace. Only Man is running at a fast pace trying to overtake others in a mad pursuit of the present day consumerism. At the end of the day, he will be a looser.

Answer 4

AMEN brother, totally agree. Let's all take a 10-second breather every once in a while.

Answer 5

Oh time. My biggest fear. I can't stand going to bed at night knowing I wasted another day of life.

Answer 6

Yes. Not enough time to think before acting.

Answer 7

ridiculous. the earth moves precisely as fast as it should, and indeed as fast as it does. haven't you read plato? or, what about gautama siddartha - 'everything is as it should be'

Answer 8

yeah man

Answer 9

definitely.
