Tick-tock,
the clock
is ticking.

It started
the moment
that you were
conceived.

It will
continue
until
the day
that you die.

At least,
during
this dimension.

On
another dimension,
the clock
never ticks.

For time
is
infinite.

Actually,
time
does not
exist.

It is
a feature
of human existence.

To control,
to understand,
to comprehend,
what is
an infinite space.

So,
why are we
so dominated
by time?

Because
the life
of a human
is finite.

From
a few milliseconds
to
many, many years.

Yet,
is there
any difference
between the two?

Well,
in terms
of
human life,
yes!

In terms
of
infinite souls,
no!

So,
why are we
so dominated
by time?

Because,
it gives us
certainty.

In
what is
an uncertain world.

Because
it gives us
consistency.

For
life is
so variable.

It is also
gives us
a bearing.

To
keep us
centred,
aware,
and
on-track.

Yet,
I just said,
that life
is
variable.

How
can it
also be,
on-track?

Ah,
now
that is
a good question.

What
is
the answer?

Well,
the perception
of
being on-track
is
a relative concept.

On
one level,
life appears
to be
a random series
of events.

On
another level,
everything
seems
to happen
for a reason.

It is
almost like,
life
has been
mapped out,
from
the beginning.

Does
such
a concept
have validity?

Well,
again
it is relative.

It
depends on
who you are,
what you believe,
and what
you are willing
to accept.

So,
what does
all of this
mumbo-jumbo
mean?

Ah,
now that is,
a question,
that only you,
can answer.

Because
ultimately,
it is only
your perception,
your belief,
and
your bias.

And
ironically,
it is all
relative
again!

For life
will
continue.

Irrespective of
who you are,
what you believe,
and what
you are willing
to accept.

Are
you
confused?

Good,
welcome
to
life!

A confusing set
of
seemingly
unplanned events
that
leads you
in a direction
that you never
consciously knew
you were travelling.

Yet,
ultimately,
you reach
your destination
anyway!

The End.
