Hasan Basri said that people are just
like a group of seconds. And every second that passes a part of you goes, and party leaves until there's nothing left.
If you're on a train, there's no standing still, you're on a boat, the currents taking you away, you're moving. Right? Every single one of us is constantly moving towards our death.
