The Fading Phoenix
Life is fleeting. It's one of the possibly few things that cannot be bought with money... nor any other barter imaginable. And, “I'll buy us some time...” is a stupid saying at face value. It doesn't mean anything because time cannot be purchased.
Time is free. However, fear, insecurities, and other family issues in crisis could significantly change the world. There could be seeming criminal actors or freelance actors preventing people from saying and doing the right thing even when both parties have gotten council of their own, discussed the issue ad infinitum, and idealize their pryor inappropriateness in are corrected by learning from each other. Time traveling agents just bumping into each other.
“Wild births”, as the overlords refer to anyone being birthed anywhere outside their compound and an infant would therefore be guilty at birth of a capital criminal charge... AT BIRTH!!!! They, having been innocent of the violence mankind, are guilty of perpetrating against each other and must endure to unite the people.
However, the time spent is still gone. And, not only can it NOT be replaced, the wealthy eventually learn the hard truths about time travel the hard way and suss out a path to their favored brand of “personal spirituality” and beg forgiveness. But will their sobs help them in eternity without the improvement of their earthly existence's.
One can only try to learn from it and do better – BE better!
“Do unto others...” But time has come and gone and, in spite of evidence to the contrary, our collective complacency demands that we suffer the fruits of our gluttony in unforgettable fashion.
And all of the time in the world couldn't buy the time to take corrective actions to undo what's been done. But we are passed that benchmark. There's no coming back from here.
If there were such a thing as time travel, I doubt with every fiber of my being that any new time lines caused would be self correcting anomalies and return to its original trajectory point and the original time line, being the strongest branch it would survive in the end.
This would make it very difficult to change the past for a different today.
I don't really believe in time travel... yet.
In consideration of all the paradoxes that this would it absolutely manifests would be insurmountable.
but provide hours of fun and relaxation for freaks like me that often ponder the existential ramifications.
It's fun to think about. And I often do. My time here is approaching and often I don't feel like writing. But I can assure you this:
If you are given an expiration date, don't spend that time regretting. Love, laugh, be as happy as often as possible.
I bet that's some table talk that politicos would prefer not to addressed in their little battleground campaigning table talks, town halls, and face to face with Gold Star Families and victims of assault rifle attacks in our children's schools. But all assault rifles and extended clips should be illegal.
However, in the end we'll all die. That is as immutable as time itself. No point and getting your panties all up in a wad. But one day we're going to pass each other as well. And it probably won't be pretty. It's that simple.
But what /about/ time?
I won't deny that I find time travel intriguing as well as improbable. Personally, I feel there's time maintenance crews. Some are collecting all of the props from a certain unscheduled jump.
Other crews of great big black Pacman like creatures that eat everything left – to reuse in another future. A black hole is positioned to collect all spillage.
In this scenario there is only a few moments of the here and now before time moves through it and the housekeepers continually reset the stage to now.
The point, though, is that any future nor any past is consumed by what I believe uses dark matter. The time usher fills fills the “orders” it will be too late.
This is the bedtime meandering thoughts where I often have misgivings and I'm not seeing anything to ameliorate these doubts and concerns.
