Life has settled in into another round of complacency and routine. At times, you can feel yourself shutting your eyes and still is able to perform every daily tasks as per se. What has changed? Nothing actually. And this is not a good sign.
We aged as we wake up every morning. Time moves and progresses, and it does not wait for us. Therefore, in order to keep pace with time, we too must progress, no matter how small that "improvement" is. Therefore, we can only warn ourselves "wake up!" and move forward......
Whether we actually did or not.... that's another matter!

A Lesson or two...
Sometimes we have to look back at what we have done in the past, and try to recall why the hell you ever made those decisions before. Life is a learning process, if only you know you are learning, and/or if you know that you should be learning what was happening before your senses.
Crisis comes and goes...... What is important, and obviously, is that we are still "alive and kicking". It is not as if doomsday will be coming, or is it coming? <LINK> Anyway, as I was writing, I have been through many downs in my life so far. I remembered most of them, but did I learn from these experiences? Hard to say now, perhaps, years down the long road, when there is another such crisis (environment) and my circumferences to this crisis, then I can gauge better whether I have learned or not.
Only I know myself best. And even myself do not know whether I have (a) remembered the history, (b) learned the lesson; and (c) recognized the danger signs again. History has foretold that mankind never learn from their past mistakes, just look at the world wars and you know whether the Great Powers of that time have learned to understand their politics.
Anyway, for the present moment, I REMEMBERED, at least till another distraction strong enough comes along and drag me along another path, perhaps with another kind of danger lying in waiting for me. That is, what we called - Life's lessons!
