Change is in the Wind

Something is different. All the time. I am not today what I was yesterday. I will not be tomorrow what I am today. I am me. I was me yesterday. I will be me tomorrow. The passage of time defines clearly yester-me and tomorrow-me. Few people, if any, will see both of them at the same time. They are two separate entities. They are me. There is only one of me. All the time. So far, at least. I’ll let you know if that changes. I will change. I will be me. My change can be forward, and it can be backward. Frontbackleftrightupdownnortheastwestsouth. Any direction. By the next time you see me, read this, look at that, think. Something will have happened to me. Something different. I am not the same. I am the same. Still me. You will change too. How will I change? How will you change? Where will you go? Where will I go? Let’s find out.

For those of you who say time does not exist, congratulations, you have an opinion. With that opinion you are most likely to use the logic that time is relativistic and therefore something similar to a moot point. God works in one eternal round. Stop whining about the inconsistencies of God and time. If you weren’t whining, good. If you are still whining, I don’t much care. If you don’t understand, either learn, or skip it. Your choice. For those of you who say time does exist, you also have an opinion. Chances are time is relative, but that doesn't stop us from enjoying our Friday nights now does it?

Time is an illusion. Lunchtime, doubly so!

Wasn't it Godel who argued with einstien about time? I just remember this one scene in the movie IQ where the geniuses are playing badminton and tthis guy does a spiel on how time doesn't exist.

No, Godel argued with Russel and Whitehead about the completeness of mathematical systems. Einstein argued with Schrodinger and Heisenberg.
