Whatever I do or decide not to do, I will go the way of all flesh.

Whatever I do or decide not to do, I will go the way of all flesh. If I do the right, it would not matter that I go today or tomorrow. After doing the right thing I don’t worry that this life ends tomorrow or thousand years hence. The heaviest predicament of all human lives lies in the worry of tomorrow. Deliverance is, your life in the ‘present’. Manage your present and live it well in harmony with the nature. You are not immortal neither this life is as long as you really think. Close may come sooner than you think. Do not arrogate yourself against life, key is in your submission to it. How many tyrants have wielded the power over life and death without realizing their own frailty before immortality!

To find absolute moment of present is almost impossible. Time itself is moving constantly. It is a process which never pauses. Present is just a utopia. Your future becomes past even before you can even think as time never pauses for you. In effect present is just an idea, a state of mind which can never be achieved unless you acquire the power to stop time. Time is spiral not cyclical. It never comes back to the same point once it passes through.

“Time is like a rapid river, and a rushing torrent of all that comes and passes. A thing is sooner well come, but it is past; and then another is borne after it, and this too will be carried away.”

                          Marcus Aurelius Antonius

                         (Died March 17^th 180 A.D.)

When I practiced wisdom, I starting spending everyday as if it were my last. Passion and possession started to faint from the idea of life. Fame may go away sooner than this life and I will also go out of fashion soon. All famous men today shall be a tale to be told and then will be swallowed up by oblivion. Then what is the worthwhile I should long for? Only answer comes as a question to me to be asked to myself every day and that is, am I good today? In the words of same Marcus Aurelius “The art of living resembles wrestling more than dancing, for here a man does not know his movement and his measures beforehand. No, he is obliged to stand strong against chance and secure himself as occasion shall offer.”
