Quote Eternity is said not to be an extension of time...

“Eternity is said not to be an extension of time but an absence of time, and sometimes it seemed to me that her abandonment touched that strange mathematical point of endlessness, a point with no width, occupying no space.” - Graham Greene

Decryption of quote

Eternity is a concept that has puzzled humanity for centuries. It is often described as a state beyond time, where the constraints of hours and minutes no longer apply. In this sense, it is not simply a continuation of the present moment, but a complete absence of the ticking clock.

When we think of eternity, we may imagine a vast expanse stretching out infinitely in all directions. However, eternity is not about size or distance. It is about a profound stillness, a moment frozen in time where everything else fades away.

As I pondered this idea, I couldn't help but think of a particular moment when someone I loved deeply walked away from me. It felt like their departure touched upon a mathematical point of endlessness, a place where time stood still and the world around me ceased to exist.

It was as if I had reached a point with no width, a moment so infinitesimally small that it occupied no physical space. In that moment of abandonment, I felt the weight of eternity pressing down on me, a heaviness that was both suffocating and liberating.

But as I sat with my feelings of loss and longing, I began to see eternity in a new light. It was not just a void left by someone's absence, but a space filled with infinite possibilities and potential.

It was a reminder that even in our darkest moments, eternity surrounds us, offering us a chance to transcend time and space and connect with something greater than ourselves.

So, the next time you feel lost or alone, remember that eternity is not a distant concept, but a present reality that can bring comfort and solace in times of need.

Embrace the absence of time and allow yourself to be enveloped by the endlessness of the universe, knowing that you are never truly alone in this vast expanse of existence.
