"The irreversibility of time" (...) 379

To live the present "material life" is to have the responsibility that it is unique and indivisible, which does not always last, because it is conditioned to organic and material life.

That naturally ends in the present global space where one is inserted, to live a certain time of permanence, as physical existence, clothed in a perishable body of matter.

This reflection is also to understand that the desire of mankind is to live the greatest longevity, yet the limitation of material life, is a fact.

It is an imperative to take into account, something that prevails because it imposes an order on the "meaning of life."

However, the reality of this truth that is life is becoming more and more logical and perceptible, that is to live and to end when the organic bankruptcy that humanity is submitted.

For the human species is organically formed by perishable body-matter, subject to the conditions of natural laws.

In that the phenomenon of the degradation of matter happens because it is degradable susceptible to organic and material corruption.

However, this conception dominates as if of a "panorama", if it were, for characterizing a comprehensive view of the situation that is observed as real and unavoidable.

A "destiny" for which mankind is aware of this, especially since it lives and experiences in practice this irreversible contingency.

For the genesis that constitutes its motive is existential in regard to humanity, because it is conditioned to live an "organic and material life"

That, like everything else in life, what is material ends in the face of its extinction as matter, is what curiously happens the human species.


Accordingly, and following our discourse on the theme of "irreversibility of time," we make the present considerations. António Cardoso
