The Brazen Altar

Someone might have told you this or you may have heard someone say "Don't cry for spilt milk, Clover is on its way".  When one is faced with situations it seems like you're losing everything that you've worked tirelessly for and just when you thought that all is falling into place, it all falls apart.

History however, is a derivative of the past or it doesn’t only determine the past but the origins of an aspect or object by reference of the past. Now, have you pictured your life as a non-moving see-saw, the presence being the pivot and you controlled by a treadmill called the future, which controls your life and its extinction.
