So here it is, kiddos, the all-out-in place to be here at the NEP for thinking and therefore being (if you believe in that sort of thing). A place to grapple with the "meaning of it all"... just like the big boys- except nowhere near as well, of course.
I'll start the ball rolling with some questions and/or comments about our old friend/enemy TIME....--->>>
So let me get this straight... We exist "within" a "dimension" called "Time", right? (Also, "Space" haha but one mystery at a Time). Okay, so this "Time" really only exists for the multimillisecond called the "Present", right? As for the "Past"--- it's gone forever, Dude!!! Except in the form of "Memories", of course, which through the process of "Thought" can "Seem" "Real", but are they "Really"?
[It seems to me that if a memory can make you cry...that's pretty damn real, but is it, really real?]
Of course the third part of "Time" is good/bad old "The Future", looked forward to and/or feared by all!!! Now this is the part of the "Dimension" that exists but not yet, right? ["Oi, oi, my acheing head!!!]
We can also supposedly "Control" the future, right? As in, we can walk to our lovers house and kiss her--- IF we call ahead to ensure she is there and IF she allows us to kiss her and IF a safe doesn't fall on our head on the way over there and IF she doesn't die of a heart-attack before I get there (although I could still kiss her goodbye if I had the heart)..
And they call THAT "controlling the future"??? Ai-Yi-Yi!!!
Well, that's all I can deal with for now... Chime in with comments/thoughts of your own if you choose to..This subject or any other related topic... "Infinity" and "Existentialism", for example, are still up for grabs!!!
