Blog 10/19/11 Sal+Life.

When I begin to question Sal's lifestyle, this statement comes to mind: "We know what IT is and we know TIME and we know that everything is really FINE." This quote brings a very interesting concept to fruition. "It" refers to life itself. Sal understand that life is meant to be an experience and that there is no such thing as "wasting" time. This is because he has come to the conscious realization that time is in fact infinite and always repeating. That time cannot be expressed in a linear fashion. Thus in actuality, he has an eternity to experience all the world has to offer. That being said, death exists merely in the constructs of our minds, and it is just human nature for him or anyone to assume that one day we will perish from this Earth. Taking this ideology into consideration, Sal is not afraid to be an observer because he understands that he has forever to "dig" life. At the same time, the lifestyle he has chosen enables him to experience a great portion of it as "Sal".
