.: Time :.

Time. It exists far beyond our existence. It stretches forward into the unknowable future, and back into the dim distant past.


I was watching some documentary yesterday night when this highly though provoking line caught my attention. This made me realize how much the concept of time really affected the human race. We do what we do each day because of our fundamental believe that there was yesterday, there is today, and there will be a tomorrow. Yet, is this really true? What is the true meaning of time?

Is there any moment at all, other than the immediate present?

Most of us are so used to accepting the idea of past, present and future that we fail to ever question it. Yet when we come down to the details, what exactly do we have to prove the existence of the past? We have the physical evidence- clues to what has happened. We have our memories- I know that i wrote the previous sentence because i remember writing it. However, is it not true that both of the above exists only in the present instant? Does you remembering that yesterday you remembered what you did the day before yesterday have any significance other than you having memories of both yesterday and the day before at the very current instant? Humans have limited intelligence and knowledge. As such, we often like to assume things which we cannot really find out. Imagine a man who blindly opens a random page on a book he has never read before, and sees the page number 42. He then assumes that the pages from 1 to 41 exists. What if some pages were torn out? What if the pages did not count the cover page? What if the pages were never printed, or was printed in another volume?

And what about the future? It seems to me that the existence of a future is less convincing than the existence of the past. Once again, i draw upon the idea that man is ignorant, and he likes to find patterns in possibly chaotic events. When man is convinced of the existence of a yesterday, he begins to think that since there was a tomorrow to yesterday, there should be a tomorrow for today. Yet, how can we be ever certain of the future, if we do not even understand the exact nature of the past? Going back to the man reading the random page in the book, he sees that there is page 42, and he is convinced there must be a page 41, he then continues to assume that there must be a page 43.

It turns out that my previous understanding of time is nothing but a series of assumptions.

Does time fly like an arrow? I think no, it is us who fly like arrows, through the winds of time.


Interesting point raised in lz's blog. This made me conjecture further...

Does time fly like an arrow? Are we the ones who fly like arrows? Or are we simply arrows tied to a string, with a fan blowing the air past us to make us think we are flying like arrows? Are we the ones who actually shoot the arrow, and decide where it ends up? Or are we released off the bowstring by a greater power which is controlling our destiny? Maybe there is no fixed destiny at all, we fly off in random directions, with no apparent target. Or perhaps we are not really moving arrows in the first place, we are merely feeling the passing wind and we think we are flying.

What Neon Genesis Evangelion character are you?

Your Personality Aspects:
Aspect Category Your Aspect Compatibility With Rei
Abstract/Concrete ABSTRACT COMPATIBLE
Introvert/Extrovert INTROVERT COMPATIBLE
Logical/Emotional EMOTIONAL INCOMPATIBLE
Dominant/Submissive SUBMISSIVE COMPATIBLE

You are most like the Evangelion character: Shinji Ikari

You are a Submissive Introvert, just like the timid Shinji Ikari. Although you match up well with Rei in this respect, you might find initial encounters difficult, as is with most Submissive Introverts like Shinji and Rei. However, once you develop a relationship with her, you'll find that you and Rei have a lot in common, and with some time you'll be able to relate to one another.

You are 85% compatible with Rei.
