the idealist

they say time never waits for no-one. they say idealism precedes experience and experience is followed only by cynicism.

I say I'm glad I'm still at stage one. I never wait for time and I'm young enough to still act and think like the idealist. I don't need the attention and certainly not the attraction. what matters is being able to make others prosperous and feel good about trying to beat time and cynicism.

time is the cynic no-one will ever beat or escape. time is what holds you down when you're on your way to greatness.

so I say: once you reach stage two, the one of experience - run and just maybe time won't catch up.
