#3 – Time is being
Time is not an attribute of being, for time is being.
Look at a single leaf overtaken by the brisk wind. Beauty is everywhere for one who lives in the present, and looks on life and the world, who feels the world. The riddle of life is solved in the perception of a single living thing.
“I live not in myself, but I become portion of that around me;
And to me high mountains are a feeling.”
– Byron, Childe Harold’s Pilgrimage
~ Alexander Gesswein, Ethics – Maxims and Reflections

There is another view on this. Being is ultimately not bound by time. Being transcends time.

Yes I agree! My work explores different metaphysical viewpoints, because in the end Skepticism is most appropriate.

Like Spinoza and many before him, I can’t shake off the conviction that existence must be infinite and eternal, and therefore “outside” of space and time. As I say later on, “there is only being, no becoming.”
I will make sure to post more things like that. Thanks so much for your input!
