.09 Milliseconds

M.E.M.

A lot of things can happen in a small amount of time.

In a week someone could find love, felt heartbreak, and a river of emotions

In a day a championship could be won

An hour could consist of a dance, a proposal, a lost friend

In a minute someone could get injured, have their first kiss, an entire existence could be wiped out.

In .09  seconds a life could be saved, the president elected, a war declared.

We are all going to die anyway so why keep fighting?

.09 milliseconds is worth as much as a year, month, or week.

Good or bad, both happen, both matter.

We keep fighting because in .09 milliseconds anything could happen.

    Yes, a lot can happen in a very short time, you wrote that very well. Leaving your house 2 seconds earlier could have prevented getting hit by a bus, etc. I think we keep fighting because we don't know what will happen.

    True even in milliseconds one moment can define a person's life! Great work as always!
