the subjectivity of time

to a creature than can only imagine one dimension, a line would look like a dot. to one that sees two dimensions, a cube looks like a square. we can see three dimensions. what is the fourth that we are blinded to? time.

to one that can see four dimensions everything must seem so clear - everything is already existing in space/time.. yet for us humans, things are revealed to us in a linear fashion - events seem to be directly related to cause and effect. we cannot but comprehend otherwise - that we are marching along a unidirectional constant timeline.

perhaps the flow of time seems to speed up or slow down depending on what is going on in our lives because we are catching glimpses of this fourth dimension - how time is not really how we perceive it. yet it still ticks on, inching forwards, in our reassuring yet limited world view..
