In "The Time Keeper," Dor experiences a unique condition where he is granted the ability to remain ageless, defying the natural progression of time. However, this extraordinary situation comes with a heavy emotional toll. Despite his immunity to aging, Dor finds himself deeply troubled and isolated, as he is deprived of personal connections and human interaction. While his physical being does not deteriorate, his spirit suffers tremendously.
The story highlights the profound difference between mere existence and truly living. Dor's lack of aging does not equate to a fulfilling life; instead, it leads to a lonely existence that stifles his soul. His circumstances serve as a poignant reminder of the importance of relationships and the richness that human contact brings to life, showcasing how vital it is to live meaningfully rather than merely existing without purpose.
