On how things are

Following post was written on Friday night.
That should give you some hint on what to expect.
Think it's a good idea though. Original one.

I didn't have internet access since, so I'm posting it now.
-----

I don’t generally like cheap comparisons.
So this one will be the least cheap I can think of, while still possible to comprehend.

The world itself, the giant theater in which we live, is defined by two principles: Space and time.
Those two form the very world.
Everything is happening on a certain time and place. We may not be able to define the great size of such times or places, but that doesn’t make it any less true.

The space is much more concrete out of these two. We may try to define it even on the very basic materialist level: It is the structure of the atoms and molecules, where they are placed.

Well, that was the best explanation I could come up with and still far from objective. I wasn’t able to define space, without saying “placed”. But place equals space, doesn’t it. And it does not have to be the structure of the atoms and molecules. Take vacuum for example. Or space (now I mean the place between terrestrial objects). They don’t have any atoms, yet they are places. Or are they?

Explaining time is much more abstract.

Time is just the “other” measure. Thing may happen in one place, on a different time, or in a same time on different place. Time describes the progression of that, which forms space. Plants and animals grow to live a meaningless life, just to die after and give way to another by their decomposing. Not affecting time in anyway. And what they change in space, time changes slowly back, or to something absolutely else.

Conclusion?

I’ve just proven, how time is merciless. Place is absolutely stripped from emotions, but time, it never stops for a while to let you take a deep breath.
Yet time defines. Time is, I dare say, even more important than place. It gives things a start and an end.

In even greater scheme of things, it means that, however cocky it may sound, that evil usually has a certain purpose.
Isn’t it just so positive?
To know, that the assholes superior to you, whom you have to respect are put in your way for a certain reason.
Maybe things really are in the best possible way, just like Candide and his teacher, Panglos, said.



PS: I realize this post is maybe little bit too hard to understand, so I have a hint for you (if you’re even going to try): When I started writing that post, I had no idea what it’ll be about. The whole thing came naturally to me. So even though it might look very much like an emotionless describing, it is actually feelings put into words. Like almost everything I post here. I’m worried though, that people are not getting it. And I can’t be mad at them – at you – for that. I’m not sure if it’s even possible to comprehend.
