IT’S ABOUT TIME
So what’s up with this concept of time anyway? To me, it all seems sort of arbitrary – based on opinions and considerations rather than objective facts.
Where does the past go anyway? Is it just a memory or an experience with another date on it; if so, why can’t I just change the date and make it happen now, or in the future?
And what is all this baloney about the future? It seems to me that it’s just “now” with another date on it. And why does it sometimes take so long to get here and other times it arrives way too soon? Who decides when the future is going to become the present? And how come I can’t just decide for myself?
But what really freaks me out is this thing about present time. Evidently, present time can be one split-second long, a few seconds, a minute, or an hour, a day, a year, a decade, a lifetime or theoretically even longer. What kind of science is that founded on anyway?
Who decides how long present time is anyway? Evidently I didn’t get that memo . . . if it was ever sent. And if somebody does know how long it is, I definitely want to talk to them.
And why does it have to be this big mystery anyway? What’s wrong with all of us understanding the basic concept of what time really is? Would it really spoil the game if you knew the rules?
You don’t suppose somebody wants to keep this all a secret for some nefarious purpose do you? As if they have this vested interest in keeping us ignorant of what’s really going on.
That couldn’t be . . . or could it?
What if the truth were hidden behind this shroud of mystery about time. And that if we discovered the truth, that we might see that the game was rigged to keep us ignorant; trapped into thinking we’re all weak and powerless. As if someone didn’t want us to remember that we are powerful beyond belief?
And what if figured all this out? Opened our eyes to see what is really going on, dispeled the shadows of doubt and fear and replaced them with our native abilities to observe, decide and act. What would that be like?
Hmmmm . . . now that sounds interesting to me. And I’d say it’s about time
