A smart guy once said something along the lines of: 'our reality is an illusion [time included], but it's the only one we have, so we might as well go with...
I like the idea that this "illusion" is itself the "play" of the Gods. I know that not everyone is into the whole idea of "Gods" - but it works for me. The...
