There a saying and it goes knowledge is power, and knowing the life that you have become accustomed to, That all the things that make life worth living was going to end, would you Try to stop the end of everything? Is it in our power to control the fate of life. If you knew that tomorrow the sky would darken all around you, become cold, while death awaited and in seconds take everything. Time, a concept created to understand change. When we enter this life it is time that marks our existence, and when death speaks we only understand with time, "it is time". If the knowledge of the expiration of all life was handed to you by mean that no one would comprehend, would you prevent it? "It is not for me to decide" is that what we should speak if we had such knowledge should the needs of one be more important than the needs of many? Would we be playing God, tying to stop something that maybe is inevitable but what if? would you postpone it? To suggest that a possibility of postponing such an event is even possible would be considered as absurd as the belief that such knowledge is possible.
I know the argument "why even think about such a controversial topic", "why just not live life?". In honesty if you knew would you not think about it, or are those who care not to think of all of life's possibilities destined to die first, for how can you be grateful of change, grateful for life, if you can not understand death. When we act in way that is distasteful to society, loved ones, mentors and parents we strive for change but change without the reflection only feeds destruction, the mirror that we look into is our future. Only when we are able to understand the action that destroy humanity, our self being, our soul. Is when we will understand to over come all possible outcomes, but until then we are destined for death.
We create death everyday, and oddly that death we create enhances life. One only needs to look at this post and know that it was created with a machine with passion, for the person who created the chip that lies in it has the passion of the person who created it, and that passion lives on. That passion grows more and more dangerous as the years pass by, as technology out does it self. We are creating death, and creating life all at the same time for this power that we have created Technology, might just be the power that will destroy us in a form of a atom crashing into another. Harnessing the power of God with technology, and science.
Should we be afraid? There is uncertainty for me like most of humanity enjoy the comfort and the feeling of awe when I see, experience, and feel a new technological advances at the tips of my fingers. Yet I can not shake the feeling that the finger of humanity is the same fingers that will point at a road leading to death. So if you had the chance to stop the end, would you? A part of me feels that we will never learn from our mistakes especially indifference until dreams of Apocalypse become our reality. Yet my soul and heart in battle with logic can not ignore the generosity, beauty, artistry of man, and I hear my soul speak "we can change, we can change, give us a chance".
