We are events, processes, and compounds. Be it soul or body, we are trapped in time and space. We can only observe the space from its inside and every moment of our experience is within the delimitation of time. Each person is a story. I made a 29-minute video of an old man talking about his life story in retrospect: his birth, his school, his work, his marriage, and his children.

We suffer because of ti me. We breathe weakly. We suffer from our memories and yet we hold tightly onto them. Time is the passage connecting humans and the world. It’s the origin of our identity and also the cause of our suffering.
