The World Has Moved On

I just watched Bladerunner on video. It is based on a short story by Philip K. Dick, Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? I haven't read the story yet but I already downloaded the e-book. Bladerunner is a good movie, with young Harrison Ford as Rick Deckard.

The last time I watched Bladerunner was in the early 80's; probably '83 or '84. That was more than 2 decades ago. Really, how time flies. Before we knew it the world has already moved on and there's nothing we can do but move along with it. Oftentimes we find ourselves looking back and wondering where has it all gone. Where are the familiar faces and places we grew accustomed to? Where have all the long summers gone? We can only reminisce. And wonder what happened to the friends we made along the way.

Sometimes, if we are lucky enough, we meet again some of the friends from our past. You would think that they'd remain the same. But you could be wrong. Quickly you will realize that the persons you knew in the past are far more different than they are now. Sometimes the realization will catch you by surprise. And reaffirm the fact that, really, the world has moved on. And how does the world move on? The world moves on one person at a time.
