Quote by Taisen Deshimaru

Time is not a line, but a series of now-points.

Time is not a line, but a series of now-points.

Summary

This quote suggests that time should not be seen as a linear concept, proceeding from the past through the present and into the future. Instead, it proposes that time is made up of a sequence of individual "now-points." This implies that every moment, every "now," is unique and exists independently of the past or future. The quote encourages a shift in perspective to focus on living in the present, appreciating the significance of each present moment rather than being bound by the constraints of linear time.
