Material nature expresses Oneness through order. Life-forms carry a body that is material; just as molecules of atoms tend to undergo changes in course of time ( Law of Entropy it is called) our bodies must be subject to immutable Laws of Nature. So death is no big deal.
Whether alive or dead, we are part and parcel of Reality.
Reality for water isn’t exactly what steam has; a block of ice has its own signture. So when we speak of time we are referring to a certain reality- in a way we can make do and profit from Time. It is as if we take a peek at Now, the pinhole through which Time is made real to us. Our understanding has grasped its essentials in the moment.

Perspective is a technique by which any three dimensional object can be represented on a two- dimensional surface. It is a device that helps artists and architects to study depth relationships of objects. In a perspective sides farther from a viewer tend to merge. The simplest example would be that of two railway tracks merging at the horizon. Where they converge is a vanishing point.
In architecture this device becomes very useful. An architect designs a building and in order to make him understood he may use perspective drawings. Rather than go into the complexity of explaining a perspective drawing in words, I shall say what it does. It lets your eye focus on a certain feature in a drawing than be distracted by so many details. Suppose one of the three buildings in a row ( and also of equal height) is the subject of present study. The drawing will be in such a way the focus of attention shall be naturally placed closest to the viewer. Other two buildings would, have in the process become smaller and imprecise.
In short a distortion is created where attention of the viewer need to be brought to focus on a particular feature than equally on all.
Tailpiece: When we create, be it society, nations or religions we are working with Idea, an absolute value. A distortion is inevitable.
