holy weeks and time machines

its has been a year since a friend of mine have gone so suddenly... like so, how easily i could forget, almost anyway... rest assured my friend, i have more than one way to remember. the holy week has passed and i am doing work... like nothing else mattered... but i remembered because i know all these things matters to me... that is what i believe.

i remember that time when i had been pious and religious; a devout catholic even, as expected from a catholic boys school student.  always a rosary in the left pocket, a scapular or something around the neck, a prayer booklet in the wallet and a small pocket bible inside the school bag somewhere.  i remember praying the rosary every night before going to sleep and going to mass every sunday with the family.  but i suppose people change... i changed... have i become evil? i suppose i have... fallen from grace.

i have been reading old emails and journal entries during the holy week, maybe some way of reflecting and soul searching... for absolution and for resolution... i have realized that i have missed quite a number of people really and the times with them together... it is amazing how i remember the feeling (how i felt then) when i read through it again... it is like a crude time machine... you could go back in time and feel things all over again... just feel things... happy, sad, anger, frustration, excitement... maybe i should invent something like that... and not so you could change the past but to re-experience the feelings... i think it would sell, but then people have regrets (heck i have regrets too... but i don't want to change things anymore... well maybe some...) still, it might be abused to undo events. 

originally, the burden of proof was on physicists to prove that time travel was possible. now the burden of proof is on physicists to prove there must be a law forbidding time travel. - haku

i guess remembering and reminiscing is the closest we will ever have for a time machine... i believe god made it that way... i could imagine the chaos going back in time could bring, if ever it was possible...

"this only is denied to god: the power to undo the past." agathon (448 BC - 400 BC), from aristotle, nicomachean ethics.

 

i'm fine with just remembering...
