"The irreversibility of time" (...) 321

Time is the "actuality" that absorbs a whole range of situations as if it were responsible and the origin of a great universe of contingencies and unpredictability that occurs in people, on the one hand.

On the other hand, they are characterized by good or bad moments that in an "apex" such a relative moment was enough to disturb some serenity or even the state of mind.

Therefore, time is the concrete "sublimity" in our lives, because it is around our time, this "contemporary time" that we are proud to belong.

Especially under its "auspices" that we perform, we work, enjoying this unequaled good in which a whole future is projected that we are ourselves.

It is in life and in time that we acquire the nobility of character that we gradually absorb from the time in which we live, the time that belongs to us and with which we are obliged to do better, in fact the underlying paradigm in humanity with which only a few identify as such.


The life lived, yet it is "material", but nevertheless, translated with so much intensity and enthusiasm by its protagonists knowing even that it is ephemeral and fleeting (...).

Time has always existed, it is not measurable, an unprecedented greatness, with which we get used to living, yet it continues its endless march ... it is gradual and constant in its circular movement, while humanity dwells in the His course, of course.

Life and time, this duality both one and the other complement each other, as to the life as belonging to "someone," who seeks to live it in a relative space of time,

As for the time that is the time of experience, that "someone" will have while physical existence submitted to a perishable material body, that will be extinguished by the occurrence of its material degradation.

As we have previously mentioned, the human species is organically formed by perishable body-matter, susceptible to the laws of nature by the phenomenon of natural degradation.

If we consider that "someone" will live a time X or Y, and relative to that time as "dwell time" that will live certain "material life" that is variable from person to person.

Mankind sought to have the mastery of time, in fact never succeeded, succeeded generations and generations, and the same desire continued latent (...), especially since time follows in an endless way its course.

Time is "supernatural," a greatness without limits, mankind is conditioned to a "material life", which lives in time, being he who manages the rules, therefore this pretension is impossible,

Mankind lives, however, to "wander" in time, then it ends its lapse of time, especially since humanity is constituted in body-matter and its extinction as matter is a fact.

Inevitably, there is a time that humans live in the present global space where we are inserted, which is to say that each one lives, only the time he has to live, and the ultimate end is irreversible.

We refer to the material life, that mankind is thus formed organically, by body-matter, however, there is another part that is soul, spirit, and that this spiritual strand, since it is supernatural, fulfills its purpose to keep "inaccessible".

Because it is diametrically opposed to its knowledge in this material world, it is only a matter of knowing what is material and for that we have the experience of matter, because it ends here in our present global world, which is our concrete case because we are human.

So what is material belongs to material specificity, whether the soul is spirit, is "far ahead", incompatible with any disproportionate and baseless discussion of the "supernatural", which is the concrete case of another component that is not material .

To pass first from this "mortal" condition, that is the question to which all humanity is subjected, so this matter of being matter is what humanity is.


In the expectation of being able to leave some more considerations on our theme the "irreversibility of time". António Cardoso
