AMIDST THE HUSTLE AND THE BUSTLE, LIFE UNFOLDS
REVEALING ITS GLORIOUS SPLENDOUR
WITH WONDERS TO BEHOLD, ADVENTURES TO EXPLORE
TRAPPED IN OUR COCOON, WE THINK AND SCHEME ENDLESSLY
LIKE A HUNGRY FISH, CHASING THE LURE
WE FEED OUR INSATIABLE DESIRES, UNFULFILLED
THE MADNESS CONTINUES, UNABATED
TAKING ITS TOLL ON BODY AND MIND
WE DENY OURSELVES THE TRUE JOYS OF LIVING
BUILDING SAND CASTLES THAT SOON VANISHES
FORGETTING THAT OUR TEMPORAL MORTAL EXISTENCE,
IS INDEED, A VERY SPECIAL BLESSING FROM THE CREATOR
GIFTED WITH INTELLIGENCE AND BOUNDLESS CREATIVE POTENTIAL
TO UNRAVEL THE SECRETS OF THE INFINITE UNIVERSE, AND OUR OWN SOUL
AND, THE KNOWING THAT, FREEDOM FROM IGNORANCE IS LIBERATION
IN A WORLD WHERE CHANGE IS CONSTANT IN THE SHIFTING SANDS OF TIME
AND, THE ULTIMATE REALITY THAT, IMPERMANENCE DOES NOT DISCRIMINATE.
