THEORIES OF TIME IN OUR LIFE

Have you ever heard about time travelling? About people who can travel into the past and the future? I bet you may get to know that from movies or story books. So do I. From my reading based on certain comics and my viewing when watching movies, I want to share two significant theories about the time in our life.

First theory is about Parallel Worlds. People always say that the choice we made for today will affect our destined future. For example, if we study hard today, in the future we will be a genius among the academicians. If we are lazy to study for today, in the future we will be a beggar. Those are two choices for two possible future. How about we add more choices in our life? For example, if we study hard in Science for today, in the future we will be a great scientist like Albert Einstein. If we study study hard in Literature for today, we will be a great poet like William Shakespeare. Sum all the choices and possible future, we have four choices and possible future. Those four choices and possible future will exist separately from each other in their own world, but occur in the same range of time of our life. That are what we called as parallel worlds.

The second theory will be different than the first theory. People always believe that we can change the future if we change the past. But this second theory denies that statement. I may call this theory as Destined Destiny. This theory stated that whatever path we choose for now will lead us to the same destined future of ours. For example, whether we are studying hard for Mathematics or History for today, in the future we still be a teacher. Second example, whether Lisa is married with John or Matthew today, in the future she still has a son named Alfred.

Unfortunately, both of the theories are just theories. Until now, there is no evidence to prove both theories.

HOW DO WE KNOW THAT WE HAVE MOVED ON FROM THE PAST?

"How do we know that we have moved from the past?"

In the first place, we need to know why we have to move on from our past? For sure, it must be because we faced failures and unwanted events that later lead us to make changes in our life. That is the actual need of moving on from our past.

"Moving on from our past" is actually a resolution that has been created by ourselves in order to have a brighter and hopeful future. The most popular thing done by most people to achieve such resolution is "forgetting". Yes. We forget the regret things happened in our past. But, is it really effective? I mean, do we really forget about it? I would say no, because as we try to forget, our brain will act to give us a contradict result. It is not easy for us to forget then.

That is why later, we tend to ask ourselves whether we are moving on or not. We will have doubts and we cannot be sure if we are completely moving on. Even worst, we may realize that we are just lying to ourselves. So, how do we know that we have moved on from the past?

"If we are able to live a completely different lifestyle from what we ever had previously, then it shows that we have moved on from our past." - This is what I think.
