There's always another chance...

...

When you think that we've used all our chances
And the chance to make everything right
Keep on making the same old mistakes
Makes untipping the balance so easy
When were living our lives on the edge
Say a prayer on the book of the dead

Distance

Distance is another one of those man made concepts to define something which is indefinable. Distance is relative even to the same person, also according to the perception one has of time that, in turn, changes with the aging process... When I was a young kid, moving 30Km seemed a lot, but not I do 50 each way just to go to work and back and it seems like nothing (it would if it wasn't for the fuel price).

But this is not the kind of distance I want write about.



Friendship is also a kind of distance, throughout our lives this "distance" we have between ourselves and others seems to shorten sometimes or grow bigger other times. Sometimes you can control it others you can't. But the funny thing is that this "distance" has little to do with the real distance for sometimes people who are physically far away seem to be "closer" than others who are physically close.
