Time is a trick. Everything is always forever and over at the same moment. What happens in the future did already happen and the past has yet to start.

It's BECAUSE forever is such a long time that nothing lasts forever.

Exactly!
The bigger issue, the one that really needs to be addressed is, how much wood, would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood? I mean really!??

That one keeps me up at night. Deep stuff.

and what is IN the glass! If it is rotten bacteria infested raw chicken juice then it being 1/2 empty is the optimistic point of view.

someone told me "today was a long day" I said "No it was remarkably similar in length than any other day"

the perception or the experience? and keep in mind that when one is moving faster that something else (say 2 clocks one going mock 3 and another relatively stationary) the one in going faster will show an earlier time than the one that was stationary. But that is not the case in my example as in it, both parties were going the same relative speed so there would be no time dilation.

The experience of the passing of time is relative, Only. What may have seemed like five minutes
to you could be experienced as ten or fifteen for somebody else. So, where I think today was
remarkably similar in length than any other day, someone else could justifiably opine the day was
long as fuck! Our ability to perceive time depends upon how quickly our nervous system appre-
hends and then processes the assault on our senses; some people apprehend and process sen-
sory perceptions faster/slower than others. Besides, the past has no properties to accurately
measure, so what we are really talking about here is not whether a day was "long" or otherwise,
but how we remember the past, which can be so subjective and dependent upon the "mind", but
good luck with measuring that. All of this hinges on the real existence of "time" and our agreement
of what it is.

I'm loving this conversation, by the way!

Something in a thirty-acre thermal thicket of thorns and thistles thumped and thundered threatening the three-D thoughts of Matthew the thug - although, theatrically, it was only the thirteen-thousand thistles and thorns through the underneath of his thigh that the thirty year old thug thought of that morning.
