belated New Years post.
Hhhhhokay, soh...
here i am, sitting at my desk... typing away just like I've done every year.
It's doesn't really feel any different... doesn't it ever? is it suppose to?
Another year has passed decause it's the only way that we humans can gauge our progression, evolution and growth. If there wasn't this concept of time, people would just live and die... without "our" conception of time, perhaps our lives would be just a blink of an eye. There would be no holidays, no weekends, no vacations, no birthdays, no zodiacs, no history. People would work every day of the week (though a 'week', as we know it would not exsist), and we would have no thoughts of past nor future. What has come to be and is yet to come would be trivial and unimportant. We would live completely in the now.
if I may be so bold as to quote my friend Jonas Tiller Berry:
"The VERY COMMON mistake of presupposing that time is a liner function of physical reality: Time is an abstract concept created by humans to measure the growing or decaying process of everything around them including themselves. Time is an idea we as humans ignorantly force upon reality. Time might just as well be happening all at once, everything that ever happened all happened at the very same instant. Humans feel as if time is passing in a liner process, assuming time has a beginning and an end. Everything is relative; a lifetime for a fruit fly is: generally 24 hours - a human life: generally 80 or so years. A lifetime is a lifetime. If one once again stepped outside of human time, one would notice that everything is happening at a very different pace than normal human chronology allows."
for some reason, I always seem to have an arsenal of questions about the life and the universe... but I never give the answers any thought myself. I never try to figure them out... I sometimes find that I'm somewhat dissappointed in myself for always relying on what others say about any given subject. I need to start thinking for myself, and taking everything with a grain of salt. For once I would like to think through a problem on my own rather than taking bits and pieces from other peoples opinions to formulate a frankenstein belief of my own. sheesh...
wowza, what sitmedownandthink sorta night...
