I went on a little trip today. For the first time in apparently a very long time, King Tut is back at the AGO in Toronto. GUESS WHERE I WENT! WAY TOO COOL AND SO EXCITING!
However thats not the point of this post.
What is incredibly important about the AGO today, however, is the bus ride home. We were bumper to bumper on the Lakeshore. The traffic on the other side of the road going into the city moving swiftly and steadily. I over heard one of my classmates a couple seats behind me say "too bad we couldnt be on that side of the road". I had to laugh.
The first thought that went through my mind was:
The traffic isnt always faster on the other side of the median.
Isn't it funny how philosophical life can be? Or how much society has changed?
Think about this:
Once upon a time, when the ground was green and the sky was blue, we were so worried about having the better fields, the greener grass, and the fatter animals. We would bawlk over how grungy the meadows looked in comparison to our neighbor's.
But that was once upon a time.
So, in the not so distant past (more the present really), when the grounds were covered by black and the sky was a dingy grey blocked our by towering masses of metal and concrete, we were worried about getting from point A to point B faster than our neighbor. We yell and scream and carry on when the vehicle in front of us doesn't budge, or when the person beside us tries to get in front of us to take the place of the one not moving.
I think that we need to step back here for a minute and think about this.

In the future, the world will become so impatient that we will be trying to FLY faster than the next person! It is interesting to see how things change over the years. Thanks for reading my post about maya. I didn't have a favorite memory. She was too special and entertaining. She loved to sing the itsy bitsy spider and watch DORA and Barney.
