Have you ever play with the spring in a clock? You know, the main spring, the one that is the most vital for the clock to perform his action, the spring that keeps energy and drives the time?...normally you wind the spring and it unwinds into the sort of gear train, which will set the time in motion…if you not careful in the force applied to the string, you might break it…she’ll get detached from the mechanism and depending on how strongly she used to be pressed in there and how hard your pull has been, you might see her leaping into the air as of a sudden, then bouncing up and down, banging into ceilings, falling to the floor, banging again, falling, banging, falling…an exponential oscillation, gradually decreasing its amplitude and period…If you can imagine these first moments of setting free the forces in a string, first ever leap into the skies, first fall followed…imagine how sudden this all happens…you shriek, coz she might hit your nose, if you not careful…then you watch in excitement her ups and downs, laughing happily at the amusement. She is an amusing entertainer, isn’t she?... But when she finally runs out of the stored energy, she would be just a piece of broken string, nothing more…and the time then will drop dead…the clock won’t work anymore…just the way life is, isn’t it?...I imagine this for a moment…pensively touched the tiny mechanism in my watch…they’ve been broken for a while and I wanted to see if I can fix it… then I thought of what might happened to the time if I touch that spring…tired I am…killing time is wearing activity…
