We humans are the only creatures on the planet that understand the logic of time. When I look at my cat, he always lives at the moment and is not even aware that he would die sometime. He is, so to speak, immortal and with this peace of mind he could live infinitely years and there would be nothing to change his soul peace.

Only from the moment you are aware of the time, you get afraid of infinity, because you have to experience all the bad things again and again and everything would slowly become boring until you feel no more joy of life.

But there are also moments in our lives as a person, in which we always forget time. For example, if you laugh with your best friend and tell you jokes, you're completely in here and now. Exactly in such moments there is no time, but only the present moment.
If one were to cut out these moments and multiply with infinity, we would live infinitely years without realizing it. This is also the goal of many spiritual beliefs, namely to learn to be as often as possible in the here and now.
So in the ideal case, we would have the ability to live just as immortal as my cat. Have a nice day and thank you to all who have read this text.

For that reason, we must live to the fullest, enjoy the little ones and the great moments, with the people we love. Celebrate life, think that life is a book, that every day is a sheet of it, then that you can not return.
Thanks for your publication, always so successful.
The photographs a beauty.

The universe it self is an illusion, I think. Though it's not a fresh idea.

Agreed and an inspiring experience you've shared here! Animals have so many lessons to teach us once we begin to listen not with our eyes/ears but with out hearts. Its amazing what they show us. I was profoundly moved by two cats of ours several years ago, once I realized the secrets they had to show me. I wrote about on our blog at the time. Thanks for the beautiful sharing. From experience I've come to realize, time is non linear and we perceive it as a basis for sake of reference to space. In reality it does not truly exist and one can willing step in and out of the construct.
