I remember when I was….    

The USS United States is a great cruise liner. No,  it is the fastest cruise liner, and  it represents the US entry into the commercial liner industry. Not really, it does not exist any more. It is now “mothball” in a port in the US, not to be used any more.

During the 1950s, in its maiden voyage, The USS US was the fastest liner around. Its purpose was to carry troups around the world in a wartime event, but practically speaking it would serve to carry passenger around the globe in one of the fastest vessel that sailed the ocean. It represent the pride of the American ship industry due to its speed. But a short 17 years after its maiden voyage, it was put up and kept out of commission due to rising operation cost.

So, lost and not forgotten, the ship rest on bobbing waters, until the builders heirs, sons and grandchildren of the ships operators, and passengers are now calling for a revival of the ships services. In the past these people enjoyed the thrill, romance, and time when cares and feelings were put aside for just a brief time. While that long by gone days are wispfully thought about the issue of trying to bring back that moment is still being debated.

Money is a strange by product of lost memories. Once we experience a content and happy sensation, we always long to bring it back, if not only to capture it in a time capsule and preserve it forever.

Time move on, different factors affect a different point in time, too many factors. And to try to recapture a certain time would be unreasonable to have happen. Each factor changes another factor until the myriad factors that once came together, now no long exist.

So to think that we can capture a moment in time when we are most contented and happy is not going to happen. Live each moment like it will never happen again, enjoy the time that one is involved in, for good times and bad times, and then move on. Use the mental snapshot call memory to capture the moment because it is impossible to turn back time.

moral: live now, live well, live forever in your memory.
