Definition Of Time


Here's a thought.. Can one define time itself? Truly, What is the definition of time?

Remember one cannot define something utilizing the word itself.

This is what oxford defines time as..

" [U] what is measured in minutes, hours, days, etc.: The changing seasons mark the passing of time. A visit to the museum will take you back in time to the 1930s. time and space As time went by we saw less and less of each other. Perceptions change over time (= as time passes). They say that time heals all wounds.—see also Father Time"

It defines time as measured by units of x or y and the examples do present an insight into its usage as a word but, it doesn’t offer a definition of time within it’s own capacity as something that exists.

Post me your definition..

Are You Afraid To Die?

(This was a the question asked to me by a dear friend and, this was my reply… )

Firstly, I think I need to analyze my life at current. I’m not content. I’m a sinner.

I don’t fear dying.. I fear that of which I have lived.

But mostly I fear what I have done for this world is nothing... I have nothing to show for.

When I die I won’t be asked how many friends I had but, how many people was I a friend to?

I’ve had 21 years… but I doubt I could vouch for 21 minutes of goodness.

Allah knows best.

I may have done the usual good in this way or that way…But purity is beyond that. Entirety is a prerequisite. Entirety.. It requires my entire being to be righteous and good.

It’s like I’ve lived my life like a supermarket Muslim.. I’ve walked from day to day like from shelf to shelf.. Picking up what I want.. And ignoring the rest.

And that’s sad.

Sad because I have so much at my disposal.. Been short of nothing.. But fall into the traps of this world.

Life is beautiful.. But it’s beauty can only be seen by the right decisions you make.. And these decisions tend to define oneself.

I fear my decisions were wrong.

I pray for guidance.

But at the crossroads of every decision I’ve taken the wrong turn.

The fact that a crossroad existed means I had been guided.

But I failed the test…

White Sky, Purity Be She


As I lay there,
And gaze into the white sky,
Mind adrift,
Soul intact.

What be her condition,
Safe and fulfilled?

I hope.. I yearn..

To see is to reach the point of ecstasy,
To touch.. heaven.

I think of thee my love,
And my thoughts overpower me,
Weakened,
Yet full of life.

I toil on the circumference of love,
I fall helpless at its foot.

White sky,
Purity be She..
My dear Lady.

Tummy Ache (Feel It In Thy Heart and Soul)

Looking into the ocean, as wave after wave, crashes against the shore, and retreats, almost to fetch another and return. The soft foams of the dying waves slowly disappear. He sat and watched every second, probing into every element, like the days that have passed. He saw the waves come and go as the days of his life till that moment had, and the little shimmer of hope that each day brought, disappear like the foam. Striving to push on, and live further, and to ultimately survive he gulped hard and blinked away the tears that began to settle on his eyes. Thrusting hard onto his stomach to ease the pain and subdue his hunger. It was almost an attempt to silent the groan that stemmed from the emptiness of his tummy...
