I just lay awake in bed and was tickled with a thought worth sharing. Time, the one and only constant. No one, no thing escapes time. Time can be
daunting or relieving.
Desired and hated. Time has no prejudice, we are all equally
insignificant in its
existence. Time isn't a thing; it is. The
ominous power of time must be confused with gods
because there is no other way to digest why in 100 years every living creature (besides trees*hopefully!* and turtles) that we coexist with, will be dead. Isn't that strange?? That is what woke me up; the realization that every person, animal, bug, blade of grass, dog, cat,
elephant will be dead in the next 100 years. No wonder people think there is an
apocalypse coming; any
priest or preacher can truthfully say to his entire congregation, "YOU WILL ALL BE DEAD IN 100 YEARS!" with enthusiasm...and it wouldn't be a lie.
Apocalypse is only in your world; your definition. Of course time does not care so we have to create ideals that shade us from the real power in the undefinable. Definition is for us, we need to define the feelings in ways that a child can understand. The importance of introducing a set of constructed values in an uneducated society was paramount. The significance of religion or worshipping spirituality enabled our society to grow; it was and currently is a powerful tool. Some form of religious doctrine was often the only scripture in a home and naturally was used for teaching the ability to read. A tool though eventually loses its need; we no longer need a single doctrine to teach or distribute hope. We have new tools that have bridged the gap between all religions and
countries. We have books and
libraries filled with authors world across. We know that someday the world will be rid of such ridiculous behaviors associated with murder, war and suffering in general. We will be rid of such atrocities in our world; our hundred years.
We are living in the end of the first really, really powerful 100'
year'ers. The men and women that represent us in the world through democracy or dictatorship are at the tail end of their ruthless abuse of power. All of us. It is downright ridiculous that we even
humor dominating another, calling another wrong or right or to kill for the weak for a rush of adrenaline. How incredibly boring that we are wasting our
sliver of existence thinking about what we believe. Belief is
incredible; it can't have credit. Belief is an expression of
opinion and has nothing to do with anyone or anything else. Belief allows you to express your connection to acceptance that you are going to be spared no mercy from the winds of time. We have huddled together hoping and praying that life is more than what it is, that life has meaning. The very statement that life has meaning is purely opinion. There is no meaning to our existence than what we decide it to be. However, there is always one common thread in any religion, a common thread that should
really allow organized religions to unshackle their patrons now the the first 100'
year'ers are gone; the existence of time. Isn't that interesting that we look at all the beliefs and doctrine of the
religions that we associate our morals with, our existence but rarely do we mention the
real truth; everybody dies in the end, all of us, every living creature you have seen or never seen will be gone in 100 years...humbling. Time.
Lets
Kumbya to time; lets welcome its nothingness and power. Introduce yourself to the idea that time crushes all. The Trump.
