Time is undefeated, life is not. We pass away, time just keeps ticking, as it is a machine, a man made structure that masks the fact that time is just an easier metric to swallow spending frivolously than life, our life. Time is a less personal metric, clocks, calendars, times zones are tools, not truths. How we experience the world slows and speeds up in separate states of mind and physiology, our brain is a weird particle decelerator in this sense as it takes in this massive amount of information and slows it into our perceptive reality. I like to call it a decelerator of chaos, a machine built to slow down just enough to give you the illusion of choice and the possibility of meaning lol. But the brain is what creates clarity from the infinite chaos, but abstract realism aside at its core the brain is a predictive computer, always anticipating the next particle of reality. Prediction that involves the slowing down of the chaotic unknown into a navigable now. But back to my point, now is all you have, “time”, but really, life, that has passed belongs to the grim reaper, your photo album, and your shitty memory (google “how bad is the human memory”, good reasons there not to let your past limit you as well, drop the stories, they’re probably wrong anyways) Life in the future isn’t promised, and your brain is performing magic and carrying the fucking boats for you to enjoy this moment of reality… try to enjoy it when you can. All this just to say, time isn’t real lol, but that blood pump beating in your chest is, and you only get so many beats to dance with. I like the perspective from this quote, as a reminder to myself, don’t let too much life pass by unconsciously masquerading as time, definitely don’t kill time/life.. Memento Mori.. “remember you must die” Live well. 🤘🏽 - BP
