Instruments of Time

Many people come across us in our lives. Some of them prove to be good friends and we remember them whole of our lives. While some of them we never like to see ever again, and we hate them. The later are the weaker ones and we succeed in forgetting them after some time. But there are still others for whom we neither feel hate and nor they prove to be good friends. In a particular sense they are used by the time. We might remember them  not as another step to our success and yet not even as a hurdle in the way; but they do have a role in our success. Without even the slightest intentions of what they do but still somehow they provoke inside us a urge to carry on with what we want. We might not hate them for what they do but we surely start looking at the path that we have just left. Imagine yourself standing at an edge while you are just ready to fly with the wings tied along your arms. But some unknown force is convincing you to not to jump. Some abyss of your past don't just leaves you away. Meanwhile when your are just ready to jump but still standing at the edge and thinking, someone comes and holding the same abyss in one hand and with the other hand thrust you down the edge. Frightened by the unexpected betrayal you try to recover at first, then after some time when you are falling down the air you are reminded of your wings. You try to give it a try and find it helpful. When you have recovered and learned to fly then you recall what has just happened. That person who has betrayed you is neither your friend nor he comes out to be an enemy because its due of him that you succeeded in getting over your own fears. He might not be an enemy nor he might be even your friend but he is just used by the time for your success, so called the instrument of time.
      In case of a big picture such instruments might appear in the form of a group of people, a law, or an organization. Their principles and aims depend upon the stories of the past. Their efforts are always in accordance with the abyss of the past. They keep struggling for the vengeance or stability of what was created by the deniers of some other tradition before their's. They don not have any objective of their own. At the start they are influenced by the time and start walking in a particular direction which is chosen by the time and its revolts. In their journey as they are not fighting for their own selves, many times their efforts are used in a certain way by the different community and the different tradition. And in the end they realize that nothing was lost and nothing is to be found. At times we see them used up for the aims of the others. They only have the camaraderie of the people for whom they fight and the others are just amused from the stories of their battles. They do have an impact on the time but in the end it might go in vain but surely not for their own selves.
