Some timely questions for a Sunday.....

Be so busy loving your life that you have no time for hate, regret, or fear. ~Karen Salmansohn

That is such great advice and sounds so easy and simple, but is it? Now Albert Einstein would argue with this and say time is just an illusion and past, present and future are one. I can easily travel in time with my mind and I know you have done this yourself. Think about past memories from childhood. 

When we say “time flies when you are having fun” or feel that the boring meeting never seems to end, we use the prospective timing. In the prospective timing, we feel time moving faster when we have interesting experiences while it drags when the brain is not entertained. Time tracking all fits into the neurological time, which is all time that has to do with the brain. 

Did I lose you yet? Nope, you are still here...good! 

There is another dimension of time which is biological time. The days and nights that pass and things grow and die. We know that nothing lasts forever or does it? I really don't know. We could easily go into the physical time of counting the hours and days and weeks and here we are in 2020. We as humans have created a tool to measure time for our own sanities to keep track of the hours spend on anything. Work, play, and family time we track this by using the good old fashioned clock, whether it is digital nowadays do not matter, the concept has not changed and relatively speaking: Time stood still on that.

Presentism is the opposite view. In presentism, there is only now — the present — and nothing else. The past is some previous configuration of the universe that does no longer exist and the future is some yet-to-be-determined configuration. Is the flow of time than merely an illusion?

Tick tock...tick tock...
Life is counting down on your internal clock.
Memories that feel as if they occurred yesterday
turn to flashes of moments that seem to fade away.
People you once knew
walk by without a clue.

Remember Santa Claus was once real to you and you cannot deny that, think back in time when you suddenly realized that all this time you believed in an illusion?
