Why run this rat race and hope for permanence when the truth is crystal clear?
In this world, 'eternal' continues to remain a myth, a period just slightly longer than temporary. But the inhabitants of this planet, blinded by the journey ahead as well as the stories of the past, it takes them far longer than usual, to realize the truth. That every scribbling on the rock, every word written on sand, are washed away, does not last.
If only they would gaze up from their phones for once, if only they would be silent, and listen. rather than party loudly on the seashore, they would see. They would see that they were all running the wrong race. Besides, to be immortal would mean, to stay forever in a world that evolves, changes every single second. With time that stops for none, man finds it hard to keep up. Permanence, is thus, to an extent. terrifying.
Who knows.. One fine day serenity alone may settle down here forever. One fine day when the wind has blown off every last trace of our footprints..
