Time
I have been thinking about time. For some of us, we view the world in positive future time. We look forward to events, planning them, anticipating them, savouring them and being excited about things that will happen to us. We feel in control as we move to the future. Others view the world in negative future time, we dread tomorrow, the events that will happen are going to be nasty, we feel out of control as we plunge into the dark hole that is the future.
Others of us view our world through the past; we build our life on what we have done, as Springsteen says "Our glory days" shape our present as we think about times past and past glories.
Others live in the present and do not plan for the future nor dwell in the past. Time and the passage of time is a function of our mind and we control how we view time. Future orientation may mean giving up the joys of the present to future hopes and dreams, which may or may not come true. Living in the past may mean that we miss out on chances to create more glory days. Living in the present means not planning for our future and maybe putting our security at risk.
How do you view future time, or do you view the world through the past?
As I was thinking about how we view time, here are some songs that focus on time so you can see how some songwriters and singers view time (Enjoy):
