This is all likely just semantic nonsense. Why does it concern you anyway? |

This has been bugging me for a very long time. I posed this on another message board and was told it was a fallacy to think this way. What really bothers me is that I was given not an explanation why. |

I looked out an saw every life I had lived. It seemed to span eternity. |

Our truest life is when we are in dreams awake
How can you break the concept of eternity in half like that? If something is eternal, then how is it meaningful in any way to talk about its past or future? You can't separate the two. Because if it has an eternal "past" but not an eternal "future", then it truly isn't eternal. In order for something to be called eternal in the first place, it needs to be eternal in "both directions". |

If you would like to know. I've been writing a short story that features a few philosophical ideas. |
|
I think something can theoretically have existed infinitely in the past, unchanged in a certain way, and then be changed. It does not necessarily have to continue unchanged into the future. |
|
I think your problem is saying something is unchanged. There isn't really anything that never changes. Even the universe is changing and stuff. So you are basically talking about some eternal object outside our universe and probably outside all known information. In other words your just making shit up, and while it is okay to have a philosophical discussion on things that don't exist and can't possibly exist, during the course of that discussion you need to admit that you are talking about an entirely fictional object that can't exist, and so you shouldn't get to stressed over the answer you get. |
|
It's actually a little silly. You're saying that if something hasn't changed in the past, why shouldn't it change in the future? You can't determine whether or not something is eternal based on its past. |

Err I actually have no idea what your saying dude...but if it makes you feel better...the multi-verse probably the answer your looking for. |

Unchanging is a bad word to describe something that has eternally existed. |

Everything works out in the end, sometimes even badly.
