In Response: 
Indaba, My Children by Credo Mutwa tells a story of the coming of life through a Zulu folktale. There once was an entity named Nothingness and one named Time one day Time and Nothingness came together and made Life. Life wanted to be as big as nothingness and although nothingness told life that this task was unachievable for you can’t be as vast and as expansive as nothingness. Life wouldn’t take no for an answer, they went to work, they worked out, and tried to bulk up and become as big as nothingness. So Time stepped in, and they said to life you need to stop this they argued but neither could win because there can’t be life without time and what is time without life?
