Prestige
"Who controls the past, controls the future; who controls the present, controls the past." (George Orwell�s novel, 1984)
Why do we seem to only recall the past, yet not the future?
Well, the mind is something we count on and rely on. And apply with. We realize that we understand such, from a certain moment in time. The simple question is this...does our believing of what is and what isn�t depend on our perspective of what we already know and understand?
Looking at all the past mistakes and glories we have had in our days, we see that we make it such... through our own recollection. The past is what we percieve, yet we relate it to present terms. Yes, there are those who would not want their future to be known, for decisions would already be decided, and the point of living would literally be worthless. Or would it? Only in the eye of the beholder.
Yet the future can be seen upon, and predicted. For time holds no boundaries. Things that we see we see in present terms, yet our eyes also focus on such a perspective of the past and future. Today, we can recognize the present, and we can recognized what has past, and with that, we can create the future...and actually make it come true as we have foreseen things to be possible.
By balancing what is and what isn�t within our own viewpoints, we see that we all have a role to play. As time will tell, we tell time as well. And we enforce it upon our own selves as well as others.
Though we recollect what we have done we have done, we must also realize the possibility of how the subject deals in both present, and especially in future terms. Prestige is ONLY a gamble. What lies ahead are the true figures.
