Summary

This quote reflects the perspective of someone who believes in the principles of physics and is suggesting that time is not linear but rather an illusion. The departure of a loved one from this world is seen as insignificant and holds no real distinction in the grand scheme of things. Instead, the speaker emphasizes that the commonly accepted division of time into past, present, and future is merely a persistently strong misconception. This viewpoint hints at a broader understanding of existence that transcends the bounds of time as commonly understood.
