entropy
we've all started here
we've yet to settle
we're headed in different directions
we're all made up of entropic molecules
if only we could feel it, as we are ripped apart by this inevitable system
the human consciousness is an interesting thing, we are born and given a glimpse of the universe
1 hour can feel like a long time.
24 hours in a day, 7 days a week, 52 weeks in a year, it all adds up and we feel it. one year is a sizable thing in a human life.
1...10...100....we might agree that 1,000 are a lot of years. one human may live to be 80. 100 is 20% more than 80. 100 is longer than most humans live. 1000 is ten times that. 10,000 is longer than any culture has existed in one recognizable linear form. 100,000. 1,000,000. these numbers stop having human meaning as they include more time than hominids have existed. 1,000,000,000. perhaps our universe is 10,000,000,000 years old. but what does that mean to us???
i wonder what living for a billion years would feel like.
