    Yesterday, today and tomorrow

    Most of us see time in three stages, past, present and future, and we live in the present and the past is gone and the future hasn't arrived. That is how our brains decipher it, how we been taught, we take most things we are taught as fact.
    But how about if the past, present and future all exist at the same time.
    Everything that is going to happen is inevitable.
    We are already dead in the future, our cause of death has been determined and documented.
    No matter how much you exercise, don't drink or smoke,eat the right food... the date of your death won't change.
    This can be verified by the man who changed his mind about getting on the Titanic at the last moment, or people who were late for a doomed flight.
    They didn't die on these things because they weren't meant to, the script had been written and that wasn't in it.

    Nice weather we have had tomorrow.

    There is no ‘present’, the moment that you think about it, it is in the past!

    The point about exercise,

    For me, it's about how you feel at that moment in time you are inhabiting, exercise makes me feel good for a prolonged number of hours so it's worthwhile for my wellbeing, I do it to feel good in the present..........end of!

    And, for the vast majority, exercise will do you good in the future, lest not forget.

    So we won the FA cup this season as well as being relegated, that’s why we all feel confused at the present moment of time.

    So basically you are saying that you believe in pre destiny. I am of the same persuasion. For example if I hadn't been accepted for a course at the college that I attended and went somewhere else, my whole life would have been different. However, that was the path that I was destined to take. Simplistic I know, but it makes sense to me.

    Glad there like minded people. I have always said our ‘end of life date’ is written on our forehead, much like a best before date on food packaging. You cannot change your destiny because you were always going to do what you do.

    A person can say ‘if I’d gone on that plane I would be dead’, but that would be wrong, they should be saying ‘I was never going to die on that plane because I was never going to get on that plane.

    To quote the late Dolly Allen, she said that she wished she knew where she was going to die, because then she wouldn’t go there!

    From what we believe in regards to time travel it would be possible to travel into the future if we could travel at faster than the speed of light, that being the case someone else could view what had happened to us but we can't look back at ourselves apparently.

    When we look to the stars we're seeing many heavenly bodies that no longer exist and if other worlds exist they are viewing the Earth with dinosaurs still roaming.

    In some cases they could be looking back at me s h a g g I n g in the back of my Ford Capri in 1980!
