P.S

Below is Eric Applebaum's comment which he commented on my blog at Facebook.

Right now I am thinking about your blog post, enjoying my recent reading of it. 

I found the picture at top well placed with your article. It shows positive infinity and negative infinity. Equal but opposite.

I suppose infinity is about as far as one gets from zero...although beyond the logic of it, nothingness seems quite vast indeed. :-)

I imagine a star, burning faithfully for billions of years. How can any reaction be maintained for billions of years? 

It requires balance between opposing forces. 

Fusion within the star rams atoms together, makes heat and creates outward pressure. Fusion, without an opposing force, would blow up the star faster than you can ask: "Oh my, doesn't the sun look a little bloated today?" 

The opposing force to fusion is gravity, which tries to collapse a star. If fusion stops in a big star, gravity will crush it down to a black hole faster than you can ask: "Hey pal, do you agree our local star is having issues today?"

I think humans do a rather remarkable job at maintaining balance between opposing mental forces. History is strewn with tales of mass insanity, but day in and day out, in our little corners of the world, most do a pretty good job at finding a central balance point. I think we have a natural capacity for it.

But innate sanity of human mentation only goes so far. As you say, we can always do better. And we can make a more conscious effort to shift our balancing routines to the fleeting now.

Well, this comment is stretching off to infinity so I'll wrap it up soon. Let's finish with a question about time. Is NOW merely a matter of perception? Is Time itself, always in motion, only events that have already occurred and those about to occur? 

By the way, personally, I don't believe the concept of a present now is merely psychological....but I'm not really qualified on the subject.....yet. <
