There are many stories that painted of desires to travel through time and into the future. Without realizing sometimes, even the average person like you and me, we, harboured such desire. Humankind, it seems, impatient to witness either Man's ultimate triumph or his apocalypse. And as a race that are sometimes blind to the obvious, we try to manifest this desire in the false absolute of science.


Making a possibility is a reality, predicting a future we all know...Science doesn't recognize the single most important element of human existence.
-Serj Tankian.

Science is flawed. Science is an ability we gained through knowledge. Why do I say ability is because it simply is; it is a product of thorough, critical, analytical & rational thinking within our limited faculties. And because we have achieved great wonders over our planet, we forget or even for some, refuse to recognize the elements of human existence that cannot be explained by science.

Albeit the exhaustive theories of quantum physics, space & time continuum, we in fact do have the ability to move through the future. But not while we are still occupying this vessel called the human body. We move through time via our legacies and our offspring, our children are the vehicles of time. They are the future. This is one of the many reasons why children are often referred to as being gifts from God. Precious as they are, children are our amanah. We mould them eventually to be what they become in the future.

Yet, I have seen how children gone rogue. Results of bad parenting where, mothers' neglect and fathers' frustration becomes a child's sickness.

Sickness has many manifestations and it often appear to overrun the faculties of the child in ways that he can never truly comprehend. It affects either mind or body. Sometimes both. This sickness can either have a devastating or enlightening conclusion. But truly, it (the cure or meaning) appeals to those who remembers the single most important thing in human existence.

I have no child of my own but I do know how it is to raise a child. To see her victories, defeat, laughter & tears. Experience the times where your principles are being challenged aginst your love for the child and doing what is right. And now, that chld has grown to have children of her own!

I have godchildren whom I wish to see go through life with myriad of experiences and be assets to families, friends & society. And as I type these words down, my prayers go to all the children who are or will undergo trials of harsh nature. And I extend what strength I have to their fathers. They have given much affection and care to their children just as much if not more than most. And now principles, beliefs, desires & hopes are being pit against the test of time. That one possibilty. My brothers, science can only do so much that you may do more. If you forget, remember. The element that is most important to human existence and then perhaps, you might be enlightened.

He who gives can also take...
