Two ways of looking at TIME

in #life6 years ago

You can see time as an infinitely long line known as the past moving forward until it meets an infinitesimally small intersecting line known as the present moment and then another infinitely long line known as the future.

When visually represented this idea looks like this ....

Or you can view time as an infinitely long series of present moments, where the present moment is in the center with past presents slipping away behind it and future presents rising up to met it. Represented visually this would look like this.

The different sizes of future presents and past presents are a representation of subjective importance; one could be a job interview, or a mid-term, or a birthday.

I feel like viewing the world in this way, while changing absolutely nothing, makes me feel like I have so much more time, and makes me immensely more present in the present moment.

Much love everyone!!
Happy Wednesday :)

When you see things differently, everything changes. Our perception is the mother of everything we do.

I agree completely, subjectivity is the truth of our lives, our experience is everything we will ever know. I just meant that nothing in the physical world changes, but everything changes for us personally.
