Response to Blog- No time
This is a response to Joel Siskin's blog in which he asks what would reality look like without the institution of time? In other words, what would it be like to just live in the now and not be conscious of the past or present. Honestly, I believe that life would be chaotic. If you look at it time is our life and it is basically one of the mechanisms that make us function and who we are. Without time I believe there would be no hopes, no dreams, or no goals. I have so many plans for my future and even though the future my not turn out the way I have it planned out in my head, it is the motivation force that keeps me going. I think of where I Want to be 5, 10, 15 years from now and that is why I do the things I do now. I do believe that the present affects your future; without time there would be no idea or concept of consequences. We do the things we do mostly because we think about how it is going to play out in the future and base our actions off of that. I am happy that we have time because without time I wouldn't be able to plan where I am going, where my life is going. Even if my life doesn't turn out the way I want it to in the future, right now I am happy with the bundle of hopes and dreams that time has allowed me to have. With that said, if there was no institution of time would that mean that we wouldn't be conscious of death, we wouldn't know it is coming (in the future) ?
