Since time immemorial it is time alone that makes the past , and it is time alone the makes the present and the future. Love heals all and so does time. Time is the balm that heals all the pain and the suffering that this life has in store for us. It is time that is our biggest foe and friend .Time has been a tyrant to lovers who wish that only if their sweet meetings could be frozen in time, in absolute timelessness , and to students who miss the easiest questions in the exam due to lack of time, and to an athlete who misses the race by a few nano seconds and to one and all who walk the journey of life living and dying in time. There is no denying the fact that since the birth of civilization mankind has been and mankind will be at time’s mercy till eternity. legions and legions of proverbs and pithy statements have been written on time and all of them has a ring of universal appeal in them. Even the greatest poets from Shakespeare to Marvell have devoted their poems to this four lettered word.
But imagine a world where there was no time.The idea is of course is a fancy one but then I don’t need time’s permission slip to ride high on my imagination.So, supposing that there was no time,,which would still mean that there would be absolute time, then it would be a time when the civilization would perish in timelessness.
Since the day I learnt the lore on the ‘drama of the absurd ‘ I have become an active believer in this school of thought.The quintessence of this school of thought is that we are ‘ living in a meaningless world where the existence of human beings is absurd and futile’. So since the time a child is born ,from that very time onwards ,every single second he is moving towards his death .But suppose there was no death and there was a thing called immortality (which woudn’t be a mythological concept ) then we would definitely achieve timelessness .But Alas! Time as we all of us know is a concept that can never be ignored because time is not an abstract concept , it is real because we can see time everyday morn, noon and night , and therefore like one cannot defy the existence of God similarly the concept of time cannot be denied even if the world was to be annihilated…
I don't know in which genre, i would fit this piece ..Science or Fiction..but maybe it would fit in a point where these two meet.I am too small an individual to understand this piece ,but it has strange taste of a different world
