Somewhere In Time
Sometimes I feel it is necessary to define time as evil. Reason being time defines who we are, what we do and why we do what we do and how. Those scientists may argue that this is called evolution, but then why does evolution need to define how time builds a man? Or for that matter how time breaks down a man?
Look at it this way: time makes prisoners of us all, we’re guarded against the passing of time, using our reasoning power and logical thinking to decide what’s best at this moment and what’s not. For e.g. if the world needed to come to a consensus on global warming, why is it that we wait until a global conference on global warming is held to create awareness? Or for e.g. why do office timings remain glued to a global standard when work is created and delivered 24/7? It seems only reasonable that it is convenient for the people of today to rely on time to do what they need to at a particular, preset moment. How boring.
What if I say that time stands irrelevant and evolution itself bears testimony to the fact. The age of dinosaurs began approximately 220 million years ago and we’ve gone through 2.5 billion years of oxygen. So why this fixation with time…what difference does it make now that we’ve lived, as humans, for a million years that we begin to dissect what life was like before we made it. With what conviction do we define us as being authoritative figures in defining time periods? Darwin coined evolution, but did he coin time? I think not. Time therefore should remain irrelevant to achieve perfect synchronicity between astral systems. The reason I say this is because while we are hell bent on searching for life on other planets, we leave behind time which for us may be years, hours, etc but in terms of spacial evolution, these might be at either end of the spectrum, so while we keep speculating when what took place in the universe, the universe itself blooms or is broken down.
Time waits for no man it is said, rather should be man waits for no time. We grow older every day, but is that what makes us be seen as responsible persons, of marriageable age, of societal position? It is time that defines our downfall. Why shouldn’t a child be treated as an adult the moment he is born? Yes, an absolutely ridiculous thought I agree, but if we are so damned good at programming climate control, then why can’t we programme an evolution that doesn’t define time. Why fornicate only when you can? Why eat a meal only at meal times? Why close bars and restaurants to sleep? The human mind and body can never stop wanting and needing, and these aren’t necessarily defined by time’s whims and fancies.
I’m not entirely sure, but I do think that dinosaurs and whatever else came before them didn’t appreciate the beauty of the two hands of the clock. They chomped away at gigantic plants as if time was non-existent, turned the earth into piles of dung at any time they wished, and perished at the end of their turn. That is the point I’m making. When we all know that life is but a cycle, that repeats itself, why then do we succumb to the evil of time? After all, you, as I, are here to enjoy what we call life for but an atom of countless universal spacial moments.
