TICK TOCK!

There is always this one day when you close your mind to the world. Your mind is away from the world of fast-paced development, politics, economics etc. Your mind is away from the world of douche' bags and nerds and smart-arses. Your mind is away from the world of discrimination, racism and sexism. Your mind just visualises four white walls around you which says nothing and which does nothing. You can observe nothing but the brightness of the walls. You get a glimpse of peace!

Nevertheless, there is always a distraction! There is a clock on one of the walls and its pendulum is busy oscillating, to which your mind hears a sound 'Tick Tock.........Tick Tock'. You want it to discontinue but it doesn't cease to exist. It continues and the only thing your mind listens to is the infuriating noise of the clock! You realise you have to make it stop and hence you try to engulf the clock into your mind. But to your dissatisfaction and utter astonishment it resists you! 

You try harder and harder, you try to gobble up the whole thing into your mind, but the fricking clock just won't stop resisting! It puts pressure against your head and you feel like your brains are going to burst. But you don't give up! The noise is just too irritating for you to continue hearing it. You just can't take it anymore. 

The clock and you fighting; fighting a more fierce battle than the World War. But you understand that you are failing and the clock is dominating you, dominating your mind, dominating your soul and dominating your actions and emotions. 'Tick Tock' it just doesn't stop. Your nose is bleeding, you are even puking a bit of blood, but you know you want to win, because once you win you face eternal darkness and that is true peace!

You finally give up the struggle; let the clock take its position in the wall. The wall maybe the clock's safe house, but you know you can drag it out of its confinement. But you also know that the clock has dominated everything you have and hence it controls you more than you control it! Now there is only one way to deal with the situation, you may be able to win this time (pun unintended) and even if you lose you get to live on. 

But you'll have to live on in your world. So you form a hammer in your hand and try to destroy the clock. You hit hard, as hard as you can, but you just cannot break it. It stays there unbroken like it is made of diamond. The pendulum oscillates and you are losing your mind. You throw all your mental fury at the clock but it just doesn't budge or break. It is deceiving Newton's third law by not reacting, but then you realise that the only reaction, the only action and the only emotions that it has is the oscillating pendulum.

The clock is invincible, yet you feel like tasting victory, you know you cannot defeat the clock but you continue to try. 'Tick Tock' it doesn't stop. After a bloody nose, bleeding fingers and an even worse mental condition you finally decide that it is high time you give up. You let go off the hammer and let unconsciousness take you away. You have lost!

You wake up in your world now. You realise that you have over-slept, you are late for work! And after all the mental battle the clock still dominates you. You have failed!

So, to all those who hate time. You cannot defeat it, you cannot break it, it will bring work every day and every hour, you cannot escape it! Every dream has a sense of time, every cell in your body works according to time. We will never face true peace. We will never win!

Hasta la Vista,
