truly, time seems limited, perhaps not because it is, but because it is effective to see it like that
to feel it like that
and thus again one can know the potential of not limiting yourself to one view of time, one model of time, such as the arrow arising from entropy’s directionality, and instead embrace multiple, modular theories of time, models of time
and thus the claim, “you only have so many minutes in the day, and there’s no way to get around that”, might actually be simply another model, sometimes more helpful, sometimes less helpful, in making life more fun and interesting
if we do indeed take it that time is illusion, that reality is more than just as it has been said to be, then such statements become more limiters rather than freers
nonetheless, it is still an arrow that mustn’t be dismissed, because there _is_ great power in understanding the idea of opportunity cost: choosing to do something means you can’t do something else
yet, when is the idea of not having a limited amount of time actually helpful?
not that we say, “we have as many minutes in the day as we want”, but perhaps more like, “the perception /itself/ of a minute is variable, and natural, and spontaneous; you do not choose; things /Are/; enjoy what /Is/; don’t try to fight it, for that is a losing game, a shortgame”
not, “there is an infinite amount of moments”, but perhaps more like, “the longer out you focus on Eternity the more it aligns with Now”
it’s like turning a telescope so far that it turns in on its own inner workings and becomes a microscope for itself
