The Impossible State of Now

Posted: Monday, 31 May 2010 | Posted by Aimi | Labels: ,

There are things I desperately wish I could forget and erase from memory, but unfortunately can't without some kind of mini targeted EMP to scramble my brain. And there are memories I desperately wish to make happen for the future, but I know it will be a long time before those things will happen. Apparently this ability to plan ahead and take into account past events is one of the defining aspects of humanity. (Although, this attribute is contested by a tribe of people living in the Amazon who have no regard for cause and effect and yet to this day manage to survive.) If this was THE defining aspect of humanity, I think I would be, in fact, super-human.

In short, I worry too much.
