The Brilliance That Is An Unbridled Grade School Mind

You can't know where you're going until you know where you've been. At least that's what they say anyway. I found some old writings from my grade school years that were pretty humorous and/or brilliant. At least I thought so.

I don't remember writing any of this.

Time and I
By: Nathan Crutchfield

There are many things that cannot be explained in life: Where babies come from, why women go the bathroom in groups, why Bill Clinton is still in the White House. These things will probably never be answered until we get to heaven. So why try to figure out what things actually are? Somewhere in the Bible God tells man to explore his creation.

One of the biggest things man is trying to figure out is what exactly is time. There have been movies and books that have dealt with the subject. One movie described it like this; when he stepped into the time machine it would transport him either to the past or the future. The only main problem with the thing was that if a structure was built where the time machine sat it would explode (or something to that extent).

I think, as do others, that time is the 4th dimension. It's something that goes beyond height, width and depth. This of course is not only visible to the eye but also to the mind. It is hard for man (especially me) to fathom the elements of time. It's something like heaven. We can't really imagine how great it is until we get there.

There are so many theories on time that it would take days to name and explain them all. But the real question is, "Why did God create time for man when he doesn't even live in a time/space continuum himself?" I think it's because he meant it for man to be able to look back on his past and to learn from his mistakes. Let's face it, if we couldn't look back at what the mistake and consequence was we would be in deep trouble. It also gives us the opportunity to discern when events will happen, such as events from the Bible.

So even though time is kind of a strange thing, it really isn't quite as strange as it seems. So the next time you think of "time," just stop right there, because in the time it takes you to fathom what it means to you, you will have spent way too much time thinking and too little time watching football.

It's difficult to say why there are still discussions on time taking place today when such a brilliant piece of literature has already been written on the subject.

I was ahead of my time.
