Suppose a man dedicated the first twenty years of his life to being a vicious criminal.
He was a thief, a thug, an arsonist, a kidnapper, and even a murderer.
But then, for the next 50 years, he turned his life around.
He gave millions to charity. He found homes for orphans. He fed the poor. He traveled to war-torn nations and helped innocent people evacuate.
What is the value of this man’s life?
In your eyes, has he found redemption?

In certain cultures around the world, different generations are referred to separately.
For example, in America there exist such divisions as Gen-X, Baby Boomers, and The Greatest Generation.
It’s a common theme for older generations to criticize those who are younger, often with cries of, “Kids these days don’t know a damn thing!”
Is it true that previous generations contain people who are wiser, harder working, and more moral?
Or has every generation that has ever existed contained similar percentages of stupid, lazy, and immoral people?

First, here’s a few interesting measurements of time:
Attosecond – Currently the smallest division of time. Approx 10−18 seconds.
Megasecond – Approx 11.6 days
Galactic Year – The time it takes for the Sun to orbit once around the Milky Way’s center. Approx 230 million years.
Exasecond – Approx 31.7 x 109 years. (more than twice the age of the universe.)
Now, the real question:
Does time exist?
Or is it simply a human construct?
When answering, take your time.
