Your Moment of Zen


So I have been thinking about something a friend in college once said, Time is that which separates order from disorder by keeping everything from happening at once. I like the thought but the more I think about it I realize that this whole idea of time is something that we have come up with to make this life a bit easier to understand. The truth is that this idea of time is a pair of handcuffs we have put on reality- it makes it easier to understand but it has a much to do with real reality as a tiger in the wild has to a tiger in the zoo. Try to think of time as a helpful construct a tool we use to make something easier to understand but not a definition or property of the thing itself. What if there is no time, no before or after, just right now?
