The Arrow of Time

“The Moving Finger writes; and, having writ, Moves on: nor all thy Piety nor Wit Shall lure it back to cancel half a Line, Nor all thy Tears wash out a Word of it.” -Omar Kháyyam

All of us wake up to the fast paced tick-tock of the clock, a boundary, a limitation in living. In this world we are all subjected to the limits of schedules, appointments, work and other endeavours, which grants us the rights to be called successful, but robs us the time for us to truly experience what living is all about.

With all of our selfish endeavours; to be always on the upside of life, and with all of our chase or our pursuit of success we become a non-empathic human being, a zombie perhaps. The greater we see of ourselves the lesser we see and feel for the others. 

In this world we live in, we are the fools of our own game and somehow if we are to look at “living” in a different perspective, the chase for happiness is purely insignificant, the act of finding it, is nonetheless an illusion. 

There is no need for the pursuit of happiness, because happiness is already there right infront of you Ready for you to grasp it!

  

  

In acknowledging this we may truly see what life is all about, we may find the real direction on which we should be heading to, and that is to feel and live each moment that life has to offer.

Because we actually can’t do a thing after each moment overtakes us, time writes a complex story, an autobiography of how we live each minute of our lives. 

Time is a record keeper, the hands of a writer. Every single stroke of the pen on the paper is crucial. There is no turning back through time, but there is only one single direction and that is forward! To live  in joy.

Well unless you build a time machine, that sounds quite fun 😉
