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.
great post again sir, i really enjoy your content. I dont think time is an illusion but more of a substance for our consciousness to experience itself. We all share consciousness, humans, plants and animals but we all experience it in different degrees. Being mindful of the present grounds us to enjoy it. I believe that consciousness is being shared right now throughout the universe in ways we could never understand.
Wow my friend. I really really like the way of your thinking. Such an interesting comment ❤
Great post, @monkeydnima! I like your description of mindfulness and being in the here and now.
I think you might find it interesting that there's good evidence to support that our perception of time changes and actually speeds up as we age!

very interesting. can I find more about the experiment? How did they test the subjects to measure the result? But thank you, I love to expand my knowledge :-)
Sure thing! You can obtain the full text for the study for free at the link below. I believe a sample of 499 participants aging from 14-94 years old were presented a questionnaire with questions about their perception of time.

Hey, @monkeydnima Have your wheels on the day. You have a lot of gratefulness for writing stories. Actually we can think of people as such. And think that there is no brain in the cats and the head. They do not know that they will die but they can sense when they get hurt. Anyway, I will not say anything. thanks..............
