17.2.12

"how is it that there are two times, past and future, when even the past is now no longer and the future is now net yet? But if the present were always present, and did not pass into past time, it obviously would not be time but eternity. If, then, time present - if it be time - comes into existence only because it passes into past time, how can we say that even this is, since the cause of its being is that it will cease to be? Thus, can we not truly say that this is only as it tends towards nonbeing?"

- St. Augustine in Confessions p.193

He honestly takled about how he doesn't understand how time is possible for 20 pages and over the course of those 20 pages, he made me doubt everything I thought I once knew.
It was bad.
