"The irreversibility of time" (...) 353

Life is (...) "opportunity and condition," relatively on the "opportunity" is in fact favorable of the benefit that is gained by its possession, concretely, the life that one has, on the one hand.

On the other hand, when "condition" is the circumstance in which the person finds himself by the situation that defines it.

So it is rational to think that being the life that is enjoyed, because it is unique and indivisible belonging to "someone."

It is logical that it constitutes an "opportunity" that is to live in the present global space where it is inserted.

Thus, preserving in the sense of having this care to protect against all hazards is legitimate and normal this attitude.

However, the conditions that are imposed on life are much more different, it is not only the defense of life with the duty to care for it.

But also achieving by its essence, namely, life means a physical phenomenon subject to natural laws.

The human species is clothed with a perishable body-matter, because it is thus constituted, and therefore of an organic and material nature that composes it.

These conditions are implicit to humanity by the imperative that it imposes on living in the present global world determined "material life."

In fact, both "opportunity and condition" are hostage to the presumption now evident, because it is the life that humanity in its generality is forced to live.

Above all, it has become an irreversible contingency that is implicit in it.

It is no paradox, but a real situation is the experience that is in the material world, which inevitably ends.

Given the organic and material specificity of which mankind is thus formed this phenomenon that occurs by its extinction is irreversible.

A characteristic that humanity faces, as a physical existence, to live certain material life, which may be long or not.

Accordingly, the prevailing situation is that of facing naturally the "circumstance" to which it is subjected.

According to which the path that develops in the current global space is the "indelible mark" of the present day.


In the expectation that our discourse may leave some more considerations on the subject the "irreversibility of time". António Cardoso
