  • The world you live in does not even exist. There might be one objective reality, but none of us where ever there. Everything you experience is filtered and distorted by your past experiences and current beliefs.

  • The phrase of something being a lifetime ago exists for a reason.

    You're changing mentally and physically all the time, especially when you're younger and going through so many phases of growing up.

    String enough of those changes together and at some point you will effectively become a new person, only connected to the previous iterations by memories that you share.

    The death of one interation and the beginning of another is bound to be a blurry mess, but you can see it clearly over a large enough span of time.

    The same is true with the environment around you, and even the wider world. It goes through iterations just the same as we do because nothing stands still, even if we want it to.

  • At some point in the future, everyone who is currently alive, will be dead and the earth will be populated with people who do not exist yet.

    Since I was born when my parent were in their late 30's. And my father was as well, so my paternal grandfather was born in the 1890's. When I was a kid he told me stories of his childhood. I was only 9 when he died, and at the time his stories were just that; stories. Now (I'm in my 50's) I wish I had asked him things about those times. He was born and grew up in a world (mostly) without electricity, and without cars, phones, etc.

    He was someone from a totally different world, and I knew him.

    Added later: He was born "only" 129 years ago, everyone alive then, is now dead.
