Thought of the day

"One life - a little gleam of time between two eternities."
Thomas Carlyle


I was really inspired by this thought. I've often wondered what comes after life, and i've always believed it to be the same thing that comes before life. It's hard for us, as humans, in a world in which everything has a beginning and end, to imagine something which is eternal and infinite. In fact, i would go as far as to say that it is impossible. 


Time is a man made concept. It's a measurement, if you will. Think of it like mass. We measure mass using grams and kilograms. Grams and kilograms do not exist, they are just a scale of numbers to represent mass which can then be used to compare objects. Time is the same, there is no such thing as a second, or a minute. Time is just a way of understanding the order of events, as well as predicting or manipulating future events. (for example, two people would manipulate the future by deciding to meet each other in one hour, which is measured by the movement of hands on a clock (which in turn is decided by the speed of cogs moving) Without the idea of time, it would be difficult to know when to do things in the future)  If there is no time in space (because there are no humans to decide upon time, or use it), then there is no timeline. If there is no timeline, there is no beginning. If there is no beginning there is no end, and if there is no end then we really have nothing to worry about.
