Life is Precious because it is transient and fleeting

      
                                 Duomo Saint Marco 5 Dec 2017  (1 year 5 days ago to this day!) 



The transient nature of life, as we know it, is that time, the 4th dimension passes by. We have no way of encapsulating time, like we encapsulate the other 3 dimensions, in form and function like, say a car, or a painting or even doodles on paper. 

We can create form an function, like an art work, a sculpture, or a painting, a picture and that should stand the test of some time. Perhaps Michelangelo, whose fantastic sculpture of David (as in the chap who defeated Goliath) has withstood 5 centuries. 









Time on the other hand, cannot be stopped, or encapsulated as we know it. It moves. Along with it, all of humankind and animals and flora and fauna are caught in this dimension. Hence, when we are in this world, we tend to zone out the dimenion of time and hence, just coast along unthinkingly that this dimension is fast running away.

Life is precious, and every second, every minute is a second or a minute gone. So use the time we have wisely. You never know when that time runs out. Well to a certain extent, we do know what the life expectancy of a man or a woman,dog, cat. How many of us actually hit that mark is more likely only 50%.

Just some useless musings on this Saturday morning 10th November 2018.
