In the end, we are just petty mortals chasing after shadows that had long abandoned us...It was wrong. Logically, mathematically, grammactically scientifically wrong. The past thense can never be mixed with present, and time would not allow itself to be bent just for the sake of replaying past events.
The past past.
Why do peole keep momentos of ex-spouses and graze the faces in still frames so longingly? Why do people willingly submit themselves to a fate they did not pick? Why dop we keep returning to people that had passed us with not a glance, just to check on them?
Humans are sentimental creatures. Sentimental fools.
We hanker over lost arguments, we write long notes to encourage people who
don't give a damn, we replay passed scenes over and over again in our minds like a continuous movie. Why do we take so much effort to hurt ourselves?
We advance forward just to retreat, we draw the future just for it to look bleak, we re-create the past just for tasting the sizzle in that glimpse only to realise that it isn't the same.
We've lost ourselves, in the use of past tense.
The present tense is confusing. How can we link past events to the present?
Just revising through the last days with past tense.
