Eternity Within the Mortal
Life is no accident-it is a fragile monument adrift upon the relentless river of time.
Drawn toward the quicksand of ignorance, the shadows of greed, and the venomous whirlpool of hatred, it stands on the edge of oblivion.
Yet even in the deepest darkness, one spark of conscience endures; one quiet flame refuses to be extinguished.
When compassion awakens, violence begins to lose its voice. When truth rises, fear surrenders to light.
Beyond the brief horizon of mortality, neither wealth nor power survives-only the love we have shared, the peace we have nurtured, and the humanity we have chosen echo into eternity.
