If you have 50 years of life and you can stop time, will you let it continue running this moment?

My hypothesis is this:
Everyone has no choice about living because time is running. Time is running no matter what we do. Time is a function of movement and it is not our movement that matters. Everything is moving and so time is measured against everybody's movement. The planetary concept of time is not important because it counts towards nothing on the universal scale. So time is only misery for us minions on Earth who have borne a concept of it.

Life has no meaning. Buddha have realised that long ago. Everybody must realise it at some point of time. Just that even though it has no meaning, time cannot be stopped so we just move along in the wave of time, trying to satisfy our biological, and the primitive anal needs. The Roman ceasars probably realised that long ago, too. So in order to establish power and control, Christianity is developed to get everyone to believe that God directs. God on Earth shall be played by a pope and bishop figure, exploiting on the concept of love to gain universal submission. This is a blasphemy of Christianity and God but Earth has enough problems without any religionic faith so lets not be too serious.

Back to life without meaning. We go to work everyday or do other things that somehow before we know it, or dread it, darkness comes and a day is over. What is this day for? For money, for love ones? For food? Aren't they all nothing at the end of the day? And because we live, to get what we want to give our life 'meaning', a goal, we do things that causes emotional friction, happiness or sadness, just so that life doesn't seem so empty. Isn't all this a waste of time? Oh my goodness! What is this time monster, again? Just what is life for? To get a job and earn money, get married and have children, trying to match your neighbour at home, train, office with material possession. Everybody will come to an end anyway. We're just relying on each other's presence to justify our presence. Picture a person whose family and friends have all died, there's somehow no possibility of having another interaction with animate or inanimate objects. Then would you sit down and not move and let Your time freeze there and then? Is there still value in living, in that picture, or in your life now?

Waking up because there are some demand on us or we have made some demands on ourselves. Those demands have no value. Happy happy happy, sad sad sad, satisfied satisfied satisfied, disappointed disappointed disappointed. and the spectrum of emotions that define that ups and downs of one's life. Haven't we tasted each of them? How many times do you want to experience, when ever more stimulant will continually be needed to really 'feel' it the next time? Just for those feelings? What a silly game.

Everybody live on this breath either thinking they are indispensable and so they have meaning in life; or they are resigned to time since it cannot be stopped, so they just move along with the tide of time, breath after breath, day after day- helpless.


Suppose your time on Earth is a fixed 50 years and you are not helpless, you have the power to stop time. Would you set it in motion this moment? Anyway, also because death is unknown, and you have left traces on Earth that would implicate others, end of life is scary.



Time continues......

Thanks to Ru who have unwittingly entertained my questions and debated with me. At least now I know life IS meaningless and therefore no need to make too much of the non-meaning. Just let it pass and satisfy mine and other's needs till the end comes to put these needs and meaninglessness to rest.

SmileUp!
