Viglet III, Time, Infinity & Eternity - explores these concepts from many perspectives. It dares address the question - is there such a thing as "time" or is "time" simply a jumble of numbers needed to pass Physics 101? If "time" is not puzzling enough then consider infinity and eternity. How pervasive is "time" - if it exists? Do other living things like ameba, puddy cats and petunias have a concept of time? Would humans have a sense of time if we didn't whip around the sun at fairly regular intervals? Since these are ...

If "time" is not puzzling enough then consider infinity and eternity. How pervasive is "time" - if it exists? Do other living things like ameba, puddy cats and petunias have a concept of time? Would humans have a sense of time if we didn't whip around the sun at fairly regular intervals? Since these are tough topics the only way to share our thoughts is through Viglets.

Viglets III: Time, Infinity & Eternity is the final installment in Viggo P. Hansen�s series dedicated to what he has dubbed, humankind�s only hope for salvation in our deeply troubled world that is rapidly succumbing to computers and apps. Following on from Viglets Two which explored the happiness and joy of being dumb, we are transported to an analysis of the concept of time and essentially the human race against it.
This has the blueprint of brilliant poetry: Imaginative. Creative. Descriptive. The first pages greet you with an illustration named ââ?¬Ë?Time in a Bottle?ââ?¬â?¢. It was the vivid, descriptive imagery that lacked in the first and second Viglets books. The image immediately pulls the attention of the reader by eliciting an almost psychedelic thought provocation. Its position was tactful, working recall memories of related experiences in the reader.
Included in Viglets III are yet again, interactive exercises. Hansen has done well to improve these activities; they are clearer and more encouraging. They are complemented by laying the foreground for the reader to consider their own beliefs, values, and morals.
An obvious difference in Viglets III is the mischievous tone and upbeat rhythm in comparison to Hansen�s previously cynical outlook on the development of the human race. The metaphoric symbolism was drastically better used. The notion of the relationship between the purpose of life and time was philosophical and exquisitely flowed powerfully into Hansen�s signature free verse poetry and varying stanzas. The sincerity is felt through the lines.
With a sub-theme of faith â�" particularly mythical gods, fallen angels, and self-trust â�" the seeds are planted inconspicuously enough that the reader cannot help but think deeper about what each of the ten sections means to them. Highly recommend it for those who enjoy a thought-provoking read on the elements that make up the daily life of humans.
