seize the moment

Lots of people use the expression'where did the time go' because time sort of flattens out for a lot of them as they get older.But I think if you don’t just accept reality as a given that can’t be changed,then time slows down because you are there in the moment trying to determine what happens next.
It may kill you before your time but it keep you alive

Its the twenty fifth anniversary of the British declaration of war on Argentina over possession of the miniscule and remote Falkland Islands.Millions of people could not believe what they were seeingon TV...British warships actually steaming towards the Cape of Good Hope just north of the Arctic Ocean for a do or die showdown in the year of our Lord 1982?
It seem like an abberate throwback to some less civilized time because these kind of open imperialist aggressions just didn’t happen any more. But more than five hundred people died in combat so that Margaret Thatcher's proto neo- Conservative government,could retain control over these utterly insignificant islands.
We couldn’t know it at the time but the Falklands War was no accidental abberation.
The Falklands War turned out to be the first modern deliberate use of military aggression as a routine foreign policy.
It was the real beginning of the 21st century
