Eternity, forever, such are vague words that define indefinite amount of time (or is it infinite?). Too bad our brains are too tiny to grasp their full essence. Yet in a way, we’re drawn towards it.
Is it possible that while we do not fully understand it, that we express ourselves by it? It is foolish to think that we have control over the future. Yet it’s strange that one should place words like ‘forever’ in some vows.
It is strange indeed that one should say, “I will love you forever”, knowing that one has no power over destiny, where ever it may lead. Yet it is strange that I should feel confident in today and tomorrow. Contemplating that they are within my command.
Is it really impossible? If I had control over myself yesterday, and I do so today…would that not mean that if I do have control of myself today which is tomorrow’s yesterday, and tomorrow, which by the morrow will be called today…I will never ever change…? If that is so…then tomorrow I will be me…and tomorrow of tomorrow I will remain…then will I not be able to keep things the same…until forever?
Perhaps I’m a fool, perhaps I am ignorant, perhaps I’m too caught up in myself that I refuse to let the future set course for me…but just for this moment…right here…right now…I want to keep it like this…
forever…
