Tomorrow
I don't know the past and I cannot go back to the past. I don't know the future, yet I always live the future, the future of the past, a.k.a. the present. The present is a fleeting concept that cannot be fully captured in a truly meaningful way. Is there such a thing as a "moment", or is that something humans perceive so that they can come to terms with the reality around them? Is there causality or is there nothing of the sort, simply perceived correlations given some meaning by human minds?
I don't know the present and I cannot go back to the present. As much as I try, the present runs away from me, and I find myself in the future all the time, considering the various possibilities for future development. If you stop time, do you really stop, or is it merely an illusion? Is our own consciousness limiting our perception of the universe in such a way that all we learn about the universe (or multiverse) is in fact something we are learning about ourselves?
Meanings and patterns are very human ways of looking at reality. I wonder... if reality could look at itself, would it see itself the same way?
