Now. Now is soon to disappear. Darkness soon devours the crimson glow of the setting sun. Calm ocean water soon swirls into rising tides, while what once was a warm breeze cuts flesh like a cold blade. The people rush toward death. They wrestle and stomp each other to keep themselves from disappearing. The world soaked in its own blood once again threatens humanity. Miserable, excruciating, and heart-wrenching is the world populated by mere humans. The dynamic life force, which is also selfishness, is full of irony and the grotesque. Small comfort may be found in our immortality. Human beings, like everything else in the world, are given birth, live and die. They continue to become something else and reach immortality. A blessing, perhaps even luxury, for those who committed unforgivable sins out of their own idiocy, gasping in the swamp of oblivion. As such, the now passes by in silence.
