"People have been speaking about "eternal life" for several millenniums. But how can we imagine what eternity is, if we can't imagine that in the beginning there was nothing? Yet, nothing is something...Isn't it? Hence, the origin of all existence."
Dear friends,
During the 18th century, Edward Burke proposed, "The ideas of eternity, and infinity, are among the most affecting we have, and yet perhaps there is nothing of which we really understand so little, as of infinity and eternity." (see A Philosophical Enquiry into the Origin of Our Ideas of the Sublime and Beautiful)
