The Life-Bringing Curse

Time

By Kenna CarlsonPublished 5 years ago 1 min read

Time is a gift to all mankind. Though it is also a curse.

It is always fleeting, forever changing.

Life itself is a time bomb,

and every year,

month,

week,

day,

hour,

minute,

second,

it gets closer to exploding.

And like everything else on earth, it is closed deep in the book of life,

never to be remembered again.

A clock is ticking down on top of your head,

and once it's at zero, your time is up, and there's no changing it.

Your life is history, and you'll be forgotten soon enough.

Time is life. And life is meaningless. Therefore time is meaningless.

Apart from purpose, life is a pointless journey.

Without purpose, time is an empty abyss.

But, if you live with purpose, savor that time.

Use it only for good, because the seconds tick away oh so fast.

Before you know it, you're just a name in the book of life.

But,

it is the book of LIFE.

What if life has nothing to do with the time spent on earth?

Because life on earth is time, and time is fleeting.

But life fulfilled is everlasting.

Time holds no bounds on a purpose-driven life.

Life is outside of time.

Maybe time isn't life, maybe time is death.

And as the seconds tick by, we are slowly awakening.
