This morning, Ruthie commented that it will take forever for her to grow up. Like most kids her age, she wishes to be older already. But I told her to just enjoy being a kid — the moment she blinks, she’ll be all grown up already, and will be wishing that she was 6 again.

Then suddenly it hit me. Our lives pass in the blink of an eye.

My dad always talks about eternity. About how life is just the beginning dot of an infinite line, and that infinite line is eternity. But I never really understood it then. The concept of infinity is just too large for the human brain to comprehend that it is perceived to be smaller than it actually is. Just like how 1,000,000,000,000 bytes is reduced to 1TB, infinity is reduced to ∞.

Looking back to the past 25 years, it really does feel like it passed in the blink of an eye. All the more reason to live life to the fullest.
