WE CAN'T BE WHAT 'WE' ARE
We exist within the limitations of space and time. While we may define the entity space in terms of 3-D co-ordinates or even fourth dimensional space as in some higher sciences, we are however confined within the boundaries of the 3-D coordinate space. I am not quite sure if 4-D space , the same as virtual reality in terms of cyber space ? whatsoev... more...

Looking outside my office window, I could see the rain drops gently caressing the mother earth.
