Good morning! Here is another Mind Rambling.

Sometimes I just sit down and think about how every second of thoughts I think passes, what I think becomes what I thought. And I think about how the present is changing faster than any measure of passing time. I think that without memory, life would only consist of the present, and it would be like every passing second never happened. Like there was no past at all. So the past is made of memory and recording. So I wonder if I will, sometime in the future, think back to those thoughts about time that passes. And I did, and do, and am now. You are reading this, and now you have read this. If I did something amazing and fun, it would soon be done. And the only way I could enjoy it constantly without doing it again and again for eternity is with my memory of it. And even if you did it over and over again, it would eventually become boring, and you ruined something fun for yourself. I also think about how I could wait for something, and the wait would feel like it lasted an eternity, but when the wait is over that feeling is gone. You can take all that time that passed and go through it again in your head, but it would probably not feel long at all. It would feel a bit like it never happened. Or if you feel a lot of pain, you wish you didn’t. And it feels horrible. And when it is over, it is like it never happened. When I think of things like this, I feel like all my life happens and then is gone, a blip in the eternity of passing time. I then realize just how glad I am that I can go about my life blissfully ignoring all these thoughts and enjoy my life without the dreaded feeling that eventually, I will be gone from history. Perhaps that is why I want to have a legacy.
