The sands of time.......

What's your take on time? Lifes clock.......
Do you have any favorite quotes? Any profound or
thought provoking insights of your own?

Time is the fire in which we all do burn

time is a illusion given to teach our childish souls to be compassionate and loving through pain and loss of said illusion

 

[Core]

time is relative....just another invention of human kind......

 

[Jack D Ripper]

if you fall into a black hole:

in the couple weeks before you're stretched into spaghetti, you will witness the end of the universe. Billions of years will fly by in weeks, like a cosmic firework display.

Maybe if we would stop this insane animal like behaviour..

Uncontrollable breeding..the rat race...wars..

We could use the resources for genetic research and make our cells multiply for forever..like cancer..

And then the resulting human 2.0 can live in a paradise of reason,love and knowledge for the rest of eternity...No use for a watch then!

Just a thought..

If man kind would realize that its just as big a part of the natural world as any tree, or insect, maybe we would get off our ego trip and reach a true understanding of our existance. Only then will time be meaningless

They say that time changes all things, but
you actually have to change them yourself.

Being a Buddhist, I have no issues with death as I just see it as part of the near-never ending rebirth cycle. I have come to terms that I am just part of a larger cycle of life. My cat doesn't have too much anxiety and I imagine it's because she's not preoccupied with the fact that she's going to die and doesn't spend her entire life trying to fight that fact.

Same here.

We should have a deep thoughts section, some stoner might be wandering through the tokers den, stumble upon this and blow his own mind.

Dangerous knowledge =)

Yep. If you follow Pirsig's logic in 'Zen And The Art of Motorcycle Maintenance', which sometimes is hard to follow, he says that people wear these blinders and choose to look out instead of in because they don't enjoy seeing what they see when they look in. Pirsig says this is mainly due to lack of inner 'quality'. He spends most of the book defining what 'quality' actually is, but it can be described, kind of, as substance or inner-peace or... well, hard to explain. But basically, because of this lack of inner 'quality, people spend their lives trying to obtain more and more material goods of 'stylish nature' to make up for lack of what's inside.

The book was first published in 71, and still rings true today. Lesson: Human nature doesn't change.

OK....... I'll have a go at this again

Reality is a question of perspective; the further you get from the past, the more concrete and plausible it seems -- but as you approach the present, it inevitably seems incredible.
