The Untouched Dimension

Haven’t we all been fascinated by the miracles of gods?
I am sure even the atheists would agree me.

 Perhaps there wasn’t a Poseidon whose fury could churn up the seas.
Perhaps there wasn’t a Vayu whose smile could mobilize that warm evening breeze.
Or maybe there was never an Isis whose mere touch could put an end to the most horrendous of diseases.

Yet...their unobstructed dominance over each of the elements and realms they controlled, was something which every mortal could wish for (I wish I had one of those Cupid’s arrows!).

Some even managed to succeed. Although mortals is not what I would call them. Especially not when they had reached a higher level of spirituality.

The rest of the unfortunate ones however, never found it too hard to fantasize.
And with such a thirst for supernatural fantasy, folklores and artists found their prominences in the society.

We loved the tales of Lord Krishna who picked up a mountain cause’ he was short of umbrellas and even better, the stills of Hugh Jackman when he was kicking ass in the skin of Wolverine. (‘Cyclops’ of X-men was my personal favourite. He wore cool shades and had a hot girl friend :P).

As man explored into the depths of his imagination, his fantasy ventured into the dominance of such a dimension which even the gods preferred to keep away from – Time.

Think about it – Have you ever heard of gods travelling back in time?
There have been time-keepers, like Chornos - God of Fate, or Caerus – God of Opportunity.
But as far as I can remember, none of them chose to alter the course of the future or change their past.

The Morai witches in Greek mythology were bound by the duty to ensure that the fate of every man and woman, take its course unobstructed. Every god, every man and every living being had to submit to them. Yet, even the guardians of fate could not undo what was done. Time and tide, certainly did wait for none.

For gods were certainly smart (duh!).
They would rather not disturb the balance.
Time, I believe, is a foundation more than anything else.
Every arc second of our lives is entwined with that of so many others in the cosmos, that it has to recorded...somewhere.
Acts once committed, knowingly or unknowingly, intentionally or just for the heck of it, should not be undone. For the flapping of a butterfly in Brazil can cause a hurricane in Toronto.

A mere presence of a man, in his own past, can set off ripples of changes in the entire framework of the globe. It can be a life changer for somebody like winning a lottery ticket or maybe something bigger, like affecting his evolution of thought process.

Which is perhaps why, I conclude, that a man who has absolute control over time is god.
Or probably something bigger.
