Is our perception of time going to change any soon?

"Time is forever dividing itself toward innumerable futures..." ~ The Garden of Forking Paths, J.L. Borges 

For centuries, the human mind has adapted itself to think linear, according to the concept of time; "yesterday", "today" and "tomorrow", time being the most relevant construction of our lives. When we observe the concept of time as a more complex entity, time being a constant in many different dimensions; our perceptions of it are not changing concurrently. Why?
Most likely, it is because of us being habitual creatures as human beings. Our brains ability to construct data is through memory and memory works best when it captures the moments via chronological order. Otherwise, I suppose that we would go insane not perceiving our daily lives moment by moment. But perhaps, by thinking about time in a more complex manner, we can prepare our own evolution. -Scientists say that the prefrontal cortex of the human brain is responsible for constructing data according to chronological order and also it is the most capable part of the brain that has plasticity- Let's say that we have managed all. This means that the only problem left is our daily lives. How are we going to integrate this new concept into it? Maybe, in the search of a time machine, we don't realize that our own brains are the ultimate masters of time, having the capability of going through back and forth in time and space, being the most sophisticated machine of all "times".

"Throughout the centuries there were men who took first steps, down new roads, armed with nothing but their own vision." ~Ayn Rand

Should it be enough?

Love, Work or Your Choice of Whatever

I've been thinking how existence fulfills our needs and how it doesn't fulfill certain expectations.
My boss told the motto of his working yesterday: "Never get satisfied, don't settle for anything less than you would like, always ask for more." That is exactly what I love about myself and it is the reason why I particularly wanted to work with him, from the beginning.
Wanting for more isn't always greed, some people actually like progress and challenge. I always write about challenge but how good am I really? This is another question I ask myself everyday. How well did I do for myself today, did I run from any responsibility or was it a day of real hard work, both mentally, physically and emotionally. If the answer is yes than I'm very satisfied for the day. Now, should that one day be enough for certain amount of time? No! Because every step you don't take forward, is a step you take backwards.
About the certain expectations; they are only fulfilled only if you fulfill your own needs, your priorities.

This is a part of a parsley, can you believe it?
I found it on a Sunday breakfast while casually tearing it.

What are you searching for, what do you find?



A dream doesn't become reality through magic; it takes sweat, determination and hard work.
