ОглавлениеIt isn´t an object in itself but it´s measured with them, time is a widely used and almost unknown concept, something that in concrete terms means little and nothing because it isn´t a physical element but in turn, it´s inextricably linked with everything. What we see, touch and measure; as all fact experienced. It contains an abstract meaning that by itself represents nothing because all moments seem to each other, as equal as they´re different, a mere consequence in the succession of events determining the measure of movement; movement that´s not by chance, is also a concept that´s measured and doesn´t exist by itself. This contrast between the abstract of phenomena and the concrete of things is the result of an immediate judgment that can bring us some surprises; precisely because of that sequential principle derived from time. Linked to things and events, time is inseparable from them and contrary to what is supposed, it isn´t very different from them either. Everything comes and it isn´t an object in itself but it is measured with them, time is a widely used and almost unknown concept, something that in concrete terms means little and nothing because it isn´t a physical element but in turn, it´s inextricably linked with everything.

Linked to things and events, time is inseparable from them and contrary to what is supposed, it isn´t very different from them either. Everything comes and everything goes, everything is and it isn´t because everything happens and nothing remains, everything follows the dynamics of a mechanism that reduces the concrete to its abstract foundation, where even the real is idealized. Everything passes and nothing remains, things exist in time and don´t remain because, like time, to exist they´re affirmed and denied consecutively; then the image of time is the image of an existence that of life is its experience. Time brings everything and carries everything and in that which comes and goes, everything is transformed; being in this process the living image of existence. This changing form of things is the image of becoming, about an existence that is its experience of life, as if the physical structure of the world were a metaphysics of time.
