Watch a girl age decades, almost imperceptibly, in minutes

Interesting art. For me, this was definitely reminiscent of Buddhist philosophy, which encourages contemplation of the temporal nature of all experience as a means to habituate insightful modes of thought.

When, friends, a noble disciple understands aging and death, the origin of aging and death, the cessation of aging and death, and the way leading to the cessation of aging and death, in that way he is one of right view... and has arrived at this true Dhamma.
