Summary

This quote reflects on the paradoxical nature of time. It suggests that while humans constantly strive to manage and control time, ultimately, they become victims of its inevitable passage. Despite our attempts to "kill" time by being productive or prolonging enjoyable experiences, time overtakes us all, eventually leading to our mortality. This concise statement serves as a reminder of the transient and finite nature of human existence.

It's a bit odd that nobody seems to be using the correct technical term to describe organized Islamic terrorists. They are not a faction of a religion or a social movement. They are a cult. A suicide cult.
