Time

History is a recollection of the past, a retelling of the story of people long gone, their achievements, their faults and the consequence of action during a certain era with a certain circumstance. They carry with them lessons for the future, a guide for humanity to take advice and learn from.

Yet, time and time again, History shows that humanity is either incapable or incorrigible to grasp the lessons of the past.

We keep committing the same mistake.

The path has been shown, a path treaded by many civilizations, successful civilizations, only to be abandoned in the pursuit of the temporal world; the wealth, the pride and the carnal desires. They forget that for every action, there is a reaction. For every excess, every transgression, lest there be remembrance and regret, there will be consequence.

Our world today is now indulgent in the excess of every kind! We transgress boundaries of every kind! We are people who have forgotten.

There is no need to mention any specific religion and the dogmas that are prescribed along with them, it is clear to anyone that the world is plunged in wrongful doings.

The world has forgotten but I pray that I do not.

To the people neck-deep in the corrupting luxuries of this world, to the people reaping the bountiful benefits of wrongful doing, to the people whose eyes are blinded by the dazzle of money, pride, power and sex, what does it matter to them? They are living the dream. A dream indeed.

Whenever comes a Reminder of the truth of the nature of things, these people, their eyes bulge in disbelief, their tempers fan ablaze, their mouths foam with accusations and slander.

"WHO ARE YOU? WHO ARE YOU TO TELL US SUCH AND SUCH!? YOU ARE BUT A MAN, A MORTAL!"

"If what you speak is true, show us a sign."

But History tell us that their hearts are hard like stone, blind to the truth of the nature of things and thus, will brush it away.

Alas, we are but a reminder...
