I "arm wrestle" my 13 year old with my Index finger and beat her. ( Never arm wrestle a Painter!!!) She doesnt believe that one day she Will thrash me in a real arm wrestle regardless of how hard I try. It's called the Life cycle. From cradle to grave is a circle, easy to observé.
The only complication is that I think time is like a washing line too, and on top of that we don't die, our Spirit just Buzzes off somewhere else when our body craps out,, so not sure how that all fits together.
