Time is really a most interesting topic. There have been numerous books and movies written and produced that have dealt with this topic. Going back in time to change a future event or going forward in time to change something that happens latter. They deal with all of the consequences of doing either. Either one can cause untold havoc with what is going to happen or has happened. One of the better movies on the subject is called ‘The Butterfly Effect’. About an event in the past causing future chaos. A good book on the subject is the ‘Time Machine’, also made into a movie. It shows what happens when someone from the past goes into the future to alter it for the better. Of coarse no one has invented a Time Machine so until they do, historical events are just what they have been and will be.

In my own lifetime I have often pondered this question of time. At this age it is hard to imagine I had a life.. I wonder where has my life has gone, it seemed so fast. I can only perceive that I had a life by going back in my memories and remembering people, places and things I experienced. Only then do I get a sense that I lived a life. It can be amazing all that you did experience in your lifetime.

Another thing that I often wonder about is did my life mean anything? To answer this question for yourself is a matter of going back into your life. Looking at how the lives you interacted with would have been without you in it. Having done this it is clear that because we are born our life has meaning. Think of all the ways in which the people you have interacted with lives would have been different if you hadn’t existed. The people who might not have received the help they needed. Think of all the unborn children who would not be a part of life in motion. Just imagine the altered history without you in it. It is for you to ponder what those lives that weren’t so good was about, a topic for another discussion.

Time is always in motion, never stopping. We are born and live within a span of time. All of those people, places, and things that exist when we do are an amazing mixture of interactions and connections.  So it may not be important that we were born in terms of the overall scheme of thing, but being born does effect the history of that span we lived in. So live life to the fullest with the knowledge that you do make a difference in you time span. Make all of your interactions and connections ones you want them to be for the betterment of all who exist with you. You can in awareness alter the future by doing things differently in some situations in the past. Being in the time you exist in, who you are makes a differnce in the history that occurs during your life. May your life history be a wonderful experience for you and those who exist with you.
