a priori

Science tells us that time is an illusion but let’s admit that it’s a darn convincing one. Also it’s useful because imagine having simultaneously to be in kindergarten and at your granddaughter’s engagement party. It is helpful because it’s how you know when to stop eating breakfast. Sadly, time fails to do what you’d like it to because if you do a rotten thing you can still feel bad about it 50 years later. Some people say forget the past, but that’s crazy. If it wasn’t for the past you wouldn’t know any words or how to tie your shoes.
