The string of life lets loose the pearls of time, it is beyond our control. We could carefully collect the pearls we are incapable of stringing. Or consciously we could look beyond. 

Every moment, every being [animate or inanimate] is creating history, irrespective of being special or not. Life goes on in the continuance of actions and inactions in the fabric of time. There is no one special;  just the human tendency to attribute importance to someone as special. All born equal and die equal. Existence is the reality and the ultimate truth. Its the journey to the unknown every moment. Never allow anyone to sell the sweetness of salvation as there is nothing to be saved from. Its transcendence and in the phase of change, there is nothing to be remorseful. Just be free and flowing. If in doubt, have a look at nature. She will show the truth of life and death.
