Chapter 1: The Nature of Time

Life is often perceived in fragments, yet it unfolds as a seamless stream. The essence of time eludes division; it flows eternally, marked by the Earth’s rotation and its journey around the Sun. This ongoing cycle is uninterrupted, and while we rely on clocks to measure it, time remains fundamentally unquantifiable.

A moment can encapsulate the entirety of a 97-year existence or merely span 97 seconds. Time, in its purest form, is a consistent flow, with each second comprising countless milliseconds. In our daily lives, we tend to think in terms of discrete actions or events. However, our bodies are perpetually in motion; nothing halts or starts as it appears. Even in stillness—whether sleeping or daydreaming—our lives are a blend of continuous activities.

Our cognitive processes may segment our experiences, making them seem disjointed. Yet, from birth to death, we engage in one ongoing action. The span of 97 years equates to a staggering 3,061,024,344 seconds. Time cannot be compartmentalized; our existence aligns with the clock's rhythm. We never truly vanish from our surroundings, regardless of how our presence may fluctuate.

Whether we feel engaged or distant, we are constantly partaking in some activity, seamlessly flowing through life without interruption. Our existence is a singular event, and we are free to label it as we wish.

Despite our tendency to perceive life as a series of separate moments, each experience contributes to an overarching narrative. The continuity of our actions reveals a deeper truth about our existence.
