Ever tried to conceptualize eternity? What comes to your mind when you think of infinity. Just think about it at this moment. Do you see unending strings of numbers or the vastness of space? Do you see God, the light at the end of the tunnel? What exactly do you see?

Black. Just pitch black darkness. That is what I see.

Where there is no beginning and no end. Its silence, emptiness; just plain nothing.

Now, let the idea of no ending wash over you. Think it, let it sink in.

I think as human beings, we love endings. Endings are a closure yet a new beginning. Books end, TV shows end, movies end, school ends, the day ends, even sex ends. An end is cue for us to move on. It is completion, a whole of the entity. I believe when we cannot see the end, it brings about that innate desire to want it to end. That desire keeps getting stronger until we reach the end of the tunnel and heave a huge sigh of relief, knowing that at last there can be a new beginning.

It liberates you.
