Meanwhile I'll be like water. I'll flow, adapt, I'll yield and I'll not tarry.

Unfortunately that is a reality. However one is allowed to fight against their own fate if they so desire. It's not a fight all of us can win but at least one can find solace he did not just accept the fate that was 'chosen' for him

Like I said earlier, civilians and military are different things. Civilians are responsible for their own well being and their families. The military are supposed to protect their nation from foreign aggression. You are blurring the lines her...

I never said time itself changes. That is like saying the laws of physics can change for no reason. And who knows? What will happen to me? What's on the other side? What will be behind me? Whatever the universe throws at me, I'll be ready to ad...

I didn't mean time itself changes, I meant time is the cause of change. I actually agree with your analogy.

Sometimes I wish I could be like the starship captains I grew up watching on holo and say things like: "All power to main guns. Fire at will." Anyways we've strayed far from the subject.

That is null considering we're talking about something older than the concept of time, older than any human will ever be able to trace or explain. Again, the only certainty of time is change.

The universe is always in a constant flux of change and things will never hold the same meaning for long. Perhaps change is the only thing that is certain.

Quite the contrary, while I despise the certainty and ignorance of religion the universe is a more mysterious, more ambiguous than some claim it to be. What is the point of seeking for knowledge if one claims to know all the answers to life questi...

There's no knowledge in certainty. Therefore there's no knowledge in religion. There's no true path one must follow or set of rules one must live under. All paths will eventually lead to a brick wall. A lover of knowledge, a philosopher must k...

There's this misconception that in order to be patriotic you must blindly believe what your government tells you to. A government's job is to represent and protect it's individuals, in exchange of tribute (simply called 'tax'). The common man or w...
