Time is potent, we all heard since our childhood. Time, like a grain of sand, slips out of our hands and we only keep gazing it hunting for the tactics to combat the glissading precious moments of ours. The moments and opportunities we hold most dear, with time, just like the sand in the hourglass, skid away. We only are, then, left with the regrets of not grasping the opportunities, despondently craving for the one single chance to swish back in time and fix the deeds for our deepest regrets.
I, for once, think of going back to the past when our ancestors lived in a world of fresh and pure air to inhale without fearing for their lungs to struggle with smoke and tar. How lucky, I ponder, were they to have the fresh and glistening water from the river so clear to reflect their face. No wonder our ancestors were much robust and healthy than our generation today.
With no access to motor vehicles, speed trains, a giant bird resembling planes but much faster and escalators, our forefathers were bound to lift their feet to move. Unlike today, they had plenty trees to purify the air they breathed in, no chemical factories to corrupt nature with fumes and rivers with chemicals. They experienced the balanced atmosphere and moderate rainfall to witness the waving crops in the fields. The green paddies filled the heart with joy and rejoice the mind.
But to unearth what’s ahead in life and change it if it’s unsatisfactory is in the human gene. And this ethos of the DNA squeezes me to peek into the hidden future. To discover what’s ahead, to find what the world would be like, to uncover if humans are more devilish or more matured. I would definitely love to see what I am up to and how successful I am in the future.
Time is a mystery and meddling with it could result in severe consequences. No less than a boon it will be, to see what the world will advance to. But daring to play with it could result in the conclusion of the human race, in fact, the entire planet. It is fully justified to say that meddling with time can decimate the entire history of the ecosystem.
Life and time are the best teachers a human will ever meet. And it is prudent to learn what it teaches us. Several attempts have been made to travel back and forth in time to change the history and conquer humanity. But whenever humans took a step out of bounds, time made them realize their limits. It proved who is supreme and who is down.
