Creation

Human life is complex.  It stands the test of time.  And any attempt at a systematic construction of thought about human life is also a deconstruction too.  Whatever magnificent structure we construct to occlude the slow slide into ruin that is the unyielding process of time on our minds, bodies and the soul of our civilization, those structures will be subject to the same rules that govern the slow passing away that all parts of the universe undergo.  In other words, time passes.  But the bulwark against time's destruction is memory, creation, innovation, and all the other things we human beings are so good at.  If you can implant one thought into the mind of another human being, where it takes root, then time hasn't passed at all, merely slid around that though like a rock in a stream unmoving.  In other words, we human beings are good at conquering the ravages of time.  If you wonder what will last after you are gone as a human being, rest assured it will be in something that you have created.
