The continual temporality of being, the continual flux. It means nothing is really present, everything is becoming and therefore the moment holds no absolute truth, things can only be understood historically!

Was watching old movies earlier, watching the now that was then, remembering thinking about a future now, realising this was sort of the future now.

What is being? I mean the Empirical doesn’t live up to the expectations of mind, we want to universalise everything, we are constantly searching for the infinite in the finite, for the enduring or the present truth beyond time.

“For he (the child) learns to understand the expression “It was,” that password with which struggle, suffering, and weariness come over human beings, so as to remind him what his existence basically is–a never completed past tense” – Nietzsche
