Total Oblivion
"Each of us finds that in [our] own life every moment of time is completely filled. [We are] bombarded every second by sensations, emotions, thoughts. . .nine-tenths of which [we] must simply ignore. The past [is] a roaring cataract of billions upon billions of such moments: any one of them too complex to grasp in its entirety, and the aggregate beyond all imagination. . .At every tick of the clock, in ever inhabited part of the world, an unimaginable richness and variety of 'history' falls off the world into total oblivion." - C.S. Lewis (1967)
