Time is Relative

So, I was talking the other day to some folks about time. It seems that in the heat of the moment folks don't believe that in 5 years this moment will not be remembered. Oh, I'll remember being here, but not much about the details. I only remember vague ideas of past events. I remember vacations, but not what happened every day of the vacations. Get the idea? Folks will remember where they were or what they were doing, but the arguments will have been forgotten. Today will have been forgotten. So, there is good reason to let this moment pass without the conflicts, because they will be forgotten, so why have them? This is a good thought the next time we are tempted to create a fuss over something that will never be remembered. A pretty good idea for facing each day. Dr. D.
