When you spend time with somebody or something you care about it is time that you are living, but when you don't spend time this way it is your life ending. Make sense? :-)

Time is an interpretation of the fact (not interpretation) of awareness as a sequence of experiences of otherness. 1+1=2.
"The additive twoness derives from the polar vertexes of the neutral axis of spin of all systems. This twoness is the beginning and essence of consciousness, with which human awareness begins: consciousness of the other, the other experience, the other being, the child's mother. To describe that of which we are aware, we employ comparison to previous experience. That which we are aware of is hotter, or bigger, or sharper than the other experience or experiences. The a priori otherness of comparative awareness inherently requires time. Early humanity's concept of the minimum increment of time was the second, because time and awareness begin with the second experience, the prime other. If there is only one think, one think is naught. Life and Universe that goes with it begins with two spheres: you and me . . . and you are always prior to me. I have just become by my awareness of you." -- Bucky Fuller
David Chako you're killing me with Bucky =) I post stuff about time, physics and chemistry and I'm grinning all the way... imagine you type and explain :P I just love how serious you are and the words you use, hahaha =)
As for all of us being in the gutter ... consider the implications of echoing such collective self-denigrating bromides ... misery loves company so much that it paints with a universal brush? Yucky bromide.
Minutes are sequences of seconds, which are sequences of experiences of otherness. Value judgements are the punctuation by which conscious being marks time. There are events, and what we make of them: both are facts, and neither dominates, however, if one presumes one's nature can be commanded without being obeyed (asceticism), or conversely presumes that one's nature must be obeyed without having command of oneself (emotionalism), then the root error results in one form or another of cognitive dissociation and ultimately degrades mind.
Tick.. Tock... Tick... Tock... But one minute is too big a division point. Life is lived in moments and you can cram many moments into one minute.
ReplyDeletePerception..perception
ReplyDeleteBetter said .. “We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.” =)
So add perspective to perception?
ReplyDeleteWell... There are no facts, only interpretations =)
ReplyDeleteIndeed, and I interpret a minute to be a compilation of many moments!
ReplyDeleteI say...a minute is a sum of breaths =)
ReplyDeleteOr beginning.
ReplyDeleteDoes a minute cease to be a minute if someone holds their breath for over a minute?
ReplyDeleteNo...just means has good lungs :)
ReplyDeleteEnding or drowning?

ReplyDeleteEnjoyed wasted time is not wasted =)
ReplyDeleteCorina Marinescu Okay, I subscribe to try that ;-)

Here it comes...I disagree David Chako =D
