It's funny that we desire to travel through time. Besides self-ish interest, what purpose would it serve? We are actually timetravelers all the time. Or should I say channel surfers?
We get carried away either by thinking about our past or piling up with dreams of the future. These two activities take most of our time. The actual now moment we are currently experiencing is something we would rather not like to have.
It's far better and safer to sail in our dreams, where all the outcomes are already known and we can speculate with endless what-if scenarios.
The future is even better. For us it has not happened yet and, therefore, we can make it up any way we desire. Well, almost. The only limitation is that we cannot just dream about anything of which we have no knowledge.
For example, in medieval times people did not dream about having cars and flying around the world in airplanes. So dreaming is also quite boring. All the outcomes are predictable in one way or another-like LEGO blocks that can only be set up in a certain way based on their shapes.
Our channel surfing concerns the current living moment. We seldom stay in the channel. We'd rather jump on and off many times in a second. This happens by switching either to the dream or the history channel. Reality TV is something we prefer to consume as a recorded version, just to be on the safe side.
Still, all the action happens in the reality mode. We cannot change our history and cannot predict the future. We have to do all the things right now. The paradox is that the only unpredictable (and therefore nonboring) moment is the fresh now time, what we are all the time experiencing.
