One Foot Behind

Running out of time , one foot behind.

A very old saying and very old thought.

 

Did the thought come first

Or did the saying produce the thought.

 

Chicken or egg

I ve always thought that the egg was laid

 

So if God created the animals first

Were We behind at the

 

inception?

creation ?

the thought is always one foot ahead...time is the consideration of persistence of the material and the change of location of particles in space...thought is not really located in space and time...hence thought is always ahead...by at least a foot! So if one is essentially a "thought being" then he is behind if he considers it so, or he is ahead if he considers it so...if one is just a material being (body) then he will at times get eaten by the animals ;-)

philosophy aside, the essence of your write is stimulating and put simply and directly. Admirable.

So many questions. But your words have the wisdom and the flow in them to really make the reader think. So, one step forward or two steps behind?

[Judy Ponceby]

hmmm. instantaneous being? as in inception? or creation as in conception? very thought provoking indeed :) Enjoyed this muchly :)

If there is a God, and he did create things in a particular order it would be very interesting to know what that order was. Then it would also be interesting to know why the thoughts of creating these things came to him in that order and why he stopped there.

I stumbled across this when I was browsing for something good to read. I think I found it. I love the point that you're trying to portray here.
