Eternal time

Does time have a death? Only an eternal being could answer that. And yet an eternal being would mean time to be eternal and have no death at all. The famous question in this terms is this -

Before all creations there was nothing. Then God came and created everything. But to create God needed space ('nothing' is nothing but a lot of space, isn't it?) and energy. And before God came and created everything there must have been time flowing as it is flowing today. Thus God cannot create everything. Time, Space and Energy must have existed before God. Or is God time, space and energy combined together? Then who created all these? Who created God?

While you ponder on a deep philosophical understanding over this unnecessary questions, I'd tell a tale. A tale of nothing that is very important. And a tale that tells itself. Some says that this year has ended in a melancholy tune. At least in India or rather West Bengal. The year saw a large number of accidents and deaths in result. So the most important personality of the year that we are just about to leave behind was the Shadowy Death himself. Well Death takes on everyone and everything that is either living or non-living all withers away in time. Just as I said in my previous article that even time is lost in time. And then one can say that being eternal, just like time means to escape Death forever. Does this mean that Moksha, that is spoken of in the Geeta is to flow eternally with time? Or become time itself?

Living in time

This is how blogs get lost. You get busy suddenly on something and your blog gets no new updates. Slowly the readers fade and slowly the blog is lost in time. Everything is lost in time. Even time is lost in time. So before getting lost completely till I've no more to lose in time I want to live. Live life like I've never lived before.

I want to find the boy who had a whole universe created within his mind that was larger than any universe man can perceive. The stories that were framed in his mind were bigger and better than anything that kids see on TV or Movie today. Well those were trying times. You saw little and read much more. So your imagination made the movie instead of any movie director. You became the hero/heroin, you fought the battles, you won the trophies. You lived in the book and lived the book in your life.

But we are living in time. A time that was not imagined a few years back. A time that is hard to imagine even now. A time that is flowing like it always flowed. Only we got busier and we don't have any time any more. Only a few years back when you were away from home it would take days to communicate or in an emergency a rare phone or telegram. But now you can talk every minute you wish to. Nobody writes a letter now a days. The last time I wrote one (I'm talking about personal letters here), was to my girlfriend, a love letter which I never posted and after a few day read to her while talking in cell phone! Sounds funny? Huh ??

That's what is called modern age. That's what is called living in time, a time that's different.
