Time is an Illusion

Time is an illusion

Endless unrelenting time. I don’t understand it, nor do I ever I think will. Time is an illusion they say, but that really doesn’t make any sense. How can that be? If time is not real then how can there never be enough of it? People always say that there is never enough time in the day to do what needs done. I guess that is just a simple fact. Life, no matter how you look at it, is short. Time rules every aspect of our lives. Even though it is supposedly an illusion. So what is life without time? The simple answer is it does not exist. Life, reality as we know it revolves around time. So what is time if not an illusion? It can’t be a construct of our minds. It isn’t fake, it can’t be. Time is beyond the grasp of our feeble minds. The simple answer is no one knows, or at least nobody's entirely sure.

Time is an aspect of reality. A plane of existence that rules over our own, that guides and governs it. Time is never ending. It has always existed and will always exist. Whether the human race lives by it or not. It was there before the big bang and will be after the end of everything. Time is indifferent to the rest of us, to us humans. It does not care about our simple, short lives. It will continue to exist with or without the world at its beck and call. Time was an aspect of reality before reality became reality. To say time is an illusion is a blatant lie. It may defy our understanding, but no matter how we ignore it. It will always continue to exist.
