Clepsydra in a Machine Empire
by Fatima Ellaine M. Sisracon
During the twentieth century, many changes occurred in this world. And these changes
per se, are those that people from the past could never even have imagined. Who would have
thought that the dark ages would end and that the crusades would achieve something?, who
would have predicted that the Holy Roman Empire would have such a great fall? Well, shame on
the people who said that man cannot fly. Thanks to those who were brave enough to explore the
depths of the sea, that we have discovered such amazing treasures hidden under the blue.
Indeed, men have immeasurable capabilities and the power to change this world. The
past, present, and the future of this world lie on the hands of each and every person who are born,
living, and even those who have perished. As time passed by, men have learned so many things.
They were able to surpass every living creature, from soaring birds, running bison, surging
sharks, and others far beyond our imagination. To start with, humans have put up a good use of
their intelligence. Their way of living has become easy compared to others who have to fight and
work for survival. However, what has become of our immeasurable capabilities? Because of the
advancement of science, the modern world has fused itself with a machine, therefore, putting a
limit to every person’s capabilities. Mankind has become too dependent on technology. Men
aren’t meant to be like this! Men were born without satisfactions. Men are supposed to live their
lives without contentment. We need to desire for more. We should give a great meaning to our
existence. Our clepsydra has moved. We better get out of the machine empire.
