200-5/6

We are once again at the end of another year. Somehow, year end holds for a lot of people some sort of significance. Like some sort of milestone that one passes and of course for all of mankind, we are also getting another year notched into our age.

All these are the fault of time. We invented time, had we not have time, there would not be any such milestones to pass and events to celebrate or to mourn. Why cant we not have time?

For some, time passes very quickly and for others time does not seem to move at all.

It's all relative at the end of the day as we go about the cycle of each day from sunrise till sunset. Day in, day out.

However, have you once paused to wonder what does all these means? All the things that you have done and all the things that you want to do but not have the time for and all the things that you did and regretted. What does all this means when we are at this milestone, this end of year? When we are all getting older but do we get any wiser?

Why must we reflect only now and not earlier of our actions and events? What is so special about this particular time of the year? If there's no time, there's no such thing as an end to a year.

For me the answer should not be found at this particular time, the answer should be looked out for all the time. It's not easy but we should reflect on our actions all the time and make less any deeds that are wrong and make more deeds that are good. Not take each sunrise and sunset for granted and people for granted, cherish each day as if it's the last.

Because in the larger scheme of things, our universe, however "big" we think it is, is nothing but a speck of dust darting across a treacherous sea of rocks and poisonous gasses.

But since we are saddled with the event of time, let me take this opportunity to wish one and all...

Happy New Year and May All Your Dreams and Wishes Be Found!
