The infinite vastness of the universe is beyond human perception. Yet still, even the mysteries of our planet, earth, which in is nothing more than a tiny part of this infinity, are far from being simple and entirely understood by the most advanced species of the planet, humans. What’s more, being among the most enigmatic mysteries of the universe, time and its nonstop steadily paced passage is still beyond any form of human influence or adequately expository analysis. Although it happens that at times for some, especially those in anguish or even discomfort, the passage of time might seem despairingly sluggish and for those in coziness and rejoice it might seem unobtrusively fleeting, time indeed never delays or rushes it always progresses steadily. Of all the resources that mankind seem to have at hand, time for the most part is offered to all equally from seemingly abundant spring, so far as they are alive. Probably, time is the only thing that cannot be sold, borrowed or shared. Time is absolutely free for everyone. Even in transactions that are supposed to be calculated in the form of ‘the time used,’ it is one way or another, some form of service rendered or received that is charged or paid for, not the time in its pure sense. Nonetheless, paradoxically to its abundance and freshness, time still is the most precious resource that anyone can have.

Stars are formed through a long process, as gas drifting in the universe is drawn together by the force of gravity.  However, even though they live a very long time, stars  begin  to  cool  down  meaning generate less heat as their fuel begins to run out, and without the heat  to  counteract  their  gravitational pull, they begin to contract. And such continues process of contraction results in the eventual collapse of their mass. Ultimately they die forming what is called a black hole.

The month of May holds a special place in the heart of Eritreans, as  it  is  the  month  that  brought about  liberation  after  decades  of war.  And  every  year,  as  this  glorious  month  comes  around,  the nation as whole embarks on a celebration  spree  that  spans  over  a 10-day period.

May is a precious month in the history of Eritrea and its people. It has been in May that the Eritrean people started enjoying the fruit of independence. The suppression, the fear of death, the go there, don’t pass through this that the Asmara residents had been experiencing under colonialism had been gone forever in the month of May.

The world press, the UN, African Union and many international organizations know the achievement and the many good things; with diminutive financial capacity Eritrea has achieved. The truth of the matter is unlike what is written Eritrea is a place where one enjoys life with little effort.

The nine ethnic groups of the country provide Eritrea with a variety of lifestyles and cultures. The sea is central to the people of the coast, while the lowlanders’ lives are oriented around camels, and the farming communities of the central highlands gear their lives to the constant passing of the seasons. Style of dress, customs, decoration and art all reflect these variations.
