I think It's an accurate assumption to make if one where to
say that time does not apply to the human mind, but is simultaneously being
created and interpreted by the human mind. We created a system that in our own
minds cannot possibly make sense to everyone 100% of the time. For example in
the mornings when I first wake up time means nothing to me. I have five clocks
in my room, three analog one digital. They are placed in the order in which
they are meant to be seen, but I never get passed the first clock. Most days I
just stare at it, 6:00, 6:15, 6:20, 6:35...then my mom walks in. "What the
hell are you doing?" It is at this moment I realize that there is such a
thing as time...and I had just missed the bus.
It's frightening
how often I do this. It' almost constant I'd say. I can draw for hours and have
it feel like a couple minutes. Do home work for five minutes feels like an
hour. Time does not apply to human minds. Once I woke up to a noise I herd in
my dream only to hear the exact same sound seconds later. It was a glass braking
and my stepfather cussing in response. When I went to investigate, only one
glass was broken. Was I really even awake when I herd the nose the second time?
Or did I here it when I was asleep and re-synthesize it after I had awoken? I
felt like I was in some sort of time shift the entire rest of the day.
I guess that's
why clocks where invented. Unfortunately, my brain lives above such law as time,
and thus I am late for events, fail to turn in homework, and frankly don't give
a shit about time at all. It's just another part of this big human cage that we're
all living in. As are computers, complex shelters, houses, buildings, parking
lots, roads, cities, governments, countries, science, religion, each other...all
limit our minds into what we can, can't, should, shouldn't, will, and will not
do. You can't cut people off when driving to work by spontaneously driving of
the road and driving in the median...can you? See thing is you probably could,
but your not going to, because driving is for the road right? And the people
around you would feel that your a bad person, right? And you just want to fallow
the rules, right?
Ever cut
someone in line and not leave even if they ask you to? Turns out it works
pretty well. We are all so conformist that when one of us bends the rules the
others don't quite know what to so at first. Then when they do realize what
there supposed to do it takes yet another nonconformist to actually speak up:
"Hay you can't cut in line, it's not fair."....heh heh you know what
I said to that guy who managed the guts to say something? "Well life ant always
fair is it? Who are you to tell me what I can and can't do? I can brake the
rules if I want."...he looked like he wanted to hit me but the thing is
boys aren't supposed to hit girls, right? What would all these people think if
he suddenly pulled me out of line and began beating me? I wonder now if that had happened, would
people save the criminal because she's a girl, because it's not worth it? Or
would they just stand there, and let it happen? Would they come and save me if
it had been my father or mother beating me and not some complete stranger? Interesting
how society works. I think the hole human race needs a big long nature walk...then a worldwide civil war caused by a sudden burst of
creativity...then a zombie apocalypse.
Now it's time for the fun part! The story continues in Reflecting Light #4: Zombie Apocalypse Plan!
COMING SOON!!!!!
